Turn on the television or open a magazine and you _____ advertisements showing happy families.
A. will often see B. often see C. are often seeing D. have often seen

Which item is the best one? And in such situation, which should we use, "will often see", "will see", or "often see"?

Look forward to your early reply.

A, "will often see", is the correct answer.

"will see" suggests that you will always see advertisements showing happy families.

"often see" can be used in a sentence like 'When you turn on .........you often see advertisements showing happy families'.
