Correct Answer: Option E
Explanation

The sentence is expressing a future action that will be completed before another future action. The phrase “by the time the bus arrives” indicates a future point in time, so we use the future perfect tense:

  • Future perfect: will have + past participle

So:

The guests will have finished breakfast by the time the bus arrives.
