The correct answer is: It rains

Key Points

  • The original sentence is in the present tense.
  • The correct option also uses the present tense but replaces "is" with "it".
  • "It" is a pronoun that refers to the rain.
  • This sentence means that the speaker will only go out if it's not raining.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Corrected sentence: I will not go out if it rains.

Additional Information

  • "raining" is a present participle, which can be used as a verb or adjective, but it does not fit in this sentence as the main verb.
  • "will rain" is in the future tense, which changes the meaning of the sentence.
  • "rained" is in the past tense, which also changes the meaning of the sentence.
