Answer:

B. when you want to show that events did not occur at the same time

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see an example that shows it in a very obvious way

"She will draw tomorrow you as well as she drew me today"

We have the verb "To draw" with will for future and also, in the same sentence, in its past form drew. In this way, you can make sure that those two things happened or will happen during different periods of time.
