A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence is in present tense, and 'one' is a singular subject. Therefore, the verb must be in present tense and agree with the singular subject. 'Likes' is the third person singular present tense form, which correctly matches 'one.' 'Liked' is past tense, 'will like' is future tense, and 'like' is the base form that would be used with plural subjects or 'I/you.'
