Get something on a particular day in the future
Hello everyone. I have a question.
Suppose that Jack tells Alice that he can't wait for November 20th to come, when his favorite musician's CD is scheduled to be released. His friend, Alice, knows this, but talks to him as if she didn't in order to tease him. Is this case, which sounds the most natural of the three sentences below? Or is there any better option? --
(A) What are going to get that day? Is that something great?
(B) What will you get on the day? Is that something great?
(C) What can you get this day? Is that something great?

Any of them would work, but I think it would depend on more of the contextual dialogue lines--assuming that this is a section of dialogue. The way I am playing the dialogue out in my head makes me think that (A) is the best.

This implies that Jack tells Alice everything in this sentence. That means he tells her that his favorite musician's CD is going to be released on November 20th.
At this point Alice cannot ask what Jack is go
