D Correct answer
Explanation

First type of conditional sentence is used when we talk about the possibilities in the present or the future. The structure of the sentence is: If + simple present, subject + will + base verb. Only option 4 fulfills this criteria. 'Do not start' is in simple present and 'will miss' keeps to the structure of 'will + base verb'. Option 2 is logically incorrect. Options 1 and 3 are ungrammatical.
