D Correct answer
Explanation

In a future conditional construction, the main clause states a prediction depending on whether the action happens first. The simple present tense is used in the if clause, and a modal (will, can, may, might, shall) is used in the main clause.

So, 'sleeps' will be used in the 1st blank and 'will take' will be used in the 2nd.
