English Tense Tense Question #5891 (CAT-I)

My wife paints furniture whenever she ______ time.

A had
B is having
C has
D will have
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option C
• The word 'whenever' indicates a recurring, habitual action or a general truth. • In such cases, the Simple Present Tense is used for both clauses. • 'Has' is the correct Simple Present form for the third-person singular subject 'she' when indicating possession or availability of time. • Options A (Simple Past), B (Present Continuous), and D (Simple Future) are incorrect for describing a regular, conditional habit in the present.
