Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) gets some rest

Explanation

A first conditional uses a future main clause and a present-tense if clause: she will feel much better if she gets some rest. Thus **gets some rest,B** fits. Using will in this ordinary conditional if clause is inappropriate; the progressive does not express the intended completed rest.
