Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

It conveys the idea that catching the train is contingent upon the person's desire or intention to do so. The simple present tense is used in both clauses in the case of the zero conditional.

"Shall" means a strong assertion that does not fit well in the context of the sentence, and "could" is used to indicate a possibility, which again does not go well with the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Come quickly if you want to catch the train."
