Are they going to visit the Hiran Minar ___ while they are in Sheikhupura?

A
while they are in Sheikhupura
B
while they will be in Sheikhupura

D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Option A is correct because 'while' is followed by the present tense 'are' to indicate an action happening during the time they are in Sheikhupura. Using 'will be' after 'while' (option B) is incorrect because 'while' clauses typically use present tense to refer to future time. Option C is grammatically incorrect in this context, and option D is not appropriate.
