What do you think?

I think both c and d are correct in this context because it refers to future. But I'm not sure about other options. I need an explanation here.

Jonathan Marianu · Answer

all answers are correct and apply to most verbs.
I tend to use "b" as I find it more concise and that form is used by the better educated and wealthier.
Many/Most americans use "a" conversationally.
c is used when one is giving an explanation to a subordinate.

Any of them could be used in this way. Be going to can be used when there is present evidence of a future situation
