Correct Answer: will ring


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The error is in using will ring instead of the simple present tense rings after the conjunction when . In this context, it's more appropriate to use the simple present tense to indicate an action that occurs at the same time as the completion of the three hours.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Three hours will have passed when the bell rings .
