Correct Answer: it will rain


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

In the sentence "If it will rain, we will have a tough time," the error is the use of the tense in the "if" clause. In the first conditional sentence. The proper structure is: "If + simple present tense (base form of the verb), followed by the simple future tense."

So, the correct statement is, "If it rains , we will have a tough time".
