A Correct answer
Explanation

Sentence A correctly uses 'so long he is here' meaning 'as long as he is here' or 'during the time he is here.' Sentence B incorrectly adds 'in case' before 'so long,' creating confusion. 'So long' already functions as a time conjunction, and adding 'in case' makes the sentence grammatically incorrect and unclear.
