Choose the correct sentence.

AIf I will become the CEO of the organisation, I would weed out the entire deadwood.
BIf I become the CEO of the organisation, I would weed out the entire deadwood.
CIf I ever became the CEO of the organisation, I would weed out the entire deadwood.
DIf I ever became the CEO of the organisation, I will weed out the entire deadwood.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. If I ever became the CEO of the organisation, I would weed out the entire deadwood.
The sentence describes a hypothetical future possibility, so the correct pattern is past tense in the if-clause with "would" in the result clause: "If I ever became..., I would..." Option B mismatches tenses, and option D incorrectly uses "will" with a hypothetical condition.
