Correct Answer: is


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The reason for using "is" here is to maintain proper verb tense agreement. Additionally, if is a conditional conjunction that often pairs with the simple present tense when referring to future events that are dependent on certain conditions being met.

So, "is" is the appropriate choice for both tense agreement and conditional usage in this sentence. The simple present tense is followed by the simple future tense in the case of the first conditional.
