you buy

Correct Answer:

you buy

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence is you buy.

The other options are incorrect:

  • you would buy is in the past conditional tense, which is used to talk about hypothetical situations that could have happened in the past.

  • No substitution required means that the original sentence is already correct and does not need to be changed.
