A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.

As the festival approaches, the number of customers _________

A) Will have increased B) Has increasing
C) Will be increased D) Increases
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Increases

The given sentence is in simple present tense and states a general fact, hence the latter half of the sentence with the blank will also be in the simple present tense.
