The speaker is expressing a current expectation that the listener will attend the function. The speaker is not expressing a past expectation or a past event.

  • Option A is incorrect because it uses the present tense “expects” to refer to a past event.
  • Option B is incorrect because it uses the past tense “expected” to refer to a past event.
  • Option C is incorrect because it uses the perfect tense “have attended” to refer to a past event.
