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

Sentence A is incorrect because 'If you will stay' incorrectly uses 'will' in the if-clause. Sentence B is correct because 'If you are staying' properly uses present continuous to discuss arrangements or plans about staying another day. The present continuous is more natural than 'will stay' when discussing planned arrangements.
