TOEIC question

When will this office be cleaned?
A) The cleaners will be here on Friday.
B) They'll paint it green.
C) You can see it tomorrow.

The right answer is A). But it seems to me that C) is a good answer too. Can we interpret "it" as "the office will be cleaned"? Please advise.

I understand that answer A) is way much better C). My concern is, if a native speaker like you would agree that answer C) also makes sense. Why or why not? Please advise and thanks.

No. C) doesn't make sense.

The question asks when the office will be cleaned. A) mentions cleaners, so that makes sense.
The answer C) is an answer to a different question - When can I see the office?

If I change that to "You can see it cleaned tomorrow.", would that make sense to you?
