The correct answer is A. will. A helping verb signifies a verb that doesn't have a concrete meaning on its own, but is used with a more concrete verb in order to signify a certain tense. For example, "will" doesn't really mean anything, while "work" gives us a concrete image of someone in an office setting. However, when you say "will work," we can picture the act of working in the future.
