Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Sentence (A) is incorrect because it uses 'will' in the if-clause ('If the fog will get thicker'), which is grammatically wrong. We never put 'will' inside the if-clause. Sentence (B) is correct: 'If the fog gets thicker, the plane will be late' follows proper first conditional structure.
