A Correct answer
Explanation

Sentence A correctly uses 'provided he also attends' - 'provided' functions as a conjunction meaning 'on the condition that.' Sentence B incorrectly adds 'if' before 'provided,' creating redundancy. Since 'provided' already establishes the condition, adding 'if' before it is grammatically incorrect and unnecessary.
