A Correct answer
Explanation

Sentence A is correct because it properly uses present simple 'if the fog gets thicker' in the if-clause. Sentence B is incorrect because it uses 'will' in the if-clause 'if the fog will get thicker' - in conditional sentences, 'will' should never appear in the if-clause itself.
