Explanation

The correct answer is "will be".

Submit

Explanation

If I don't finish this exercise, I won't get in trouble. This sentence is using the first conditional structure, which is used to talk about a possible future condition and its probable result. In this case, the condition is not finishing the exercise, and the result is not getting in trouble. The verb "don't finish" is the correct choice because it matches the present tense of the sentence and expresses a possible action in the future.
