Solution

In time clauses introduced by conjunctions such as 'when', 'as soon as', 'before', and 'after', the simple present tense is used to express a future action. The main clause uses the simple future tense.

Therefore, the time clause should be 'When I arrive' and the main clause should be 'I will call you'.

The correct sentence is 'When I arrive, I will call you.'

Answer: When I arrive, I will call you.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
