A) will deploy B) shall deploy C) will be deploying D) shall have deployed
Verb (POS & meaning): deploy — verb. To place software/configuration into production so it takes effect.
A) Correct: will deploy — neutral future action indicating the team will carry out the deployment; implies intent/plan without extra modal force.
B) Wrong: shall deploy — formal and unusual with third-person plural in modern usage; would sound archaic or legalistic and is less natural here.
C) Wrong: will be deploying — future continuous suggests the deployment will be in progress at a given time; it changes the nuance to an ongoing process rather than the single planned action.
D) Wrong: shall have deployed — future perfect with shall is awkward and asserts completion by a future point; stronger than needed and seldom used.
