B Correct answer
Explanation

The future perfect tense 'will have finished' is correct because it describes an action that will be completed before a specific future time ('by the time you come back'). Future perfect (will have + past participle) shows actions completed before future reference points. 'Has finished' is present perfect and 'finished' is simple past.
