Correct Answer: if you are


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The reason for this correction is that "if you are lucky" is the grammatically correct construction for a conditional statement in this context. The use of "would" in "if you would be lucky" creates unnecessary conditional redundancy; "if you are" maintains the correct structure for a possibility based on luck in the present.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: You might spot a tiger in the Sariska Reserve if you are lucky.
