If more teams withdraw, the tournament _

Verified Answer
A. Will have been cancelled
B. Will have cancelled
C. Would cancel
D. May have to be cancelled

Explanation:

This is a first conditional sentence. The 'if' clause uses the present simple ('withdraw'). The main clause describes a possible future consequence. 'May have to be cancelled' correctly uses a modal verb ('may') to express possibility, 'have to' to express necessity, and the passive voice ('be cancelled') because the tournament is the object of the cancellation. This option accurately conveys a likely and necessary outcome.
