Please look at the sentence below.
Oh dear, I've broken the vase
There are three choices, and one should opt two correct ones.
A What will your mother say?
B What is your mother going to say?
C What is your mother saying?
Can you please have a look at my brief analysis and confirm whether I am right or wrong. Many thanks.
A is likely to be correct and can be seen as the mother's sponteneous decision (let's imagine that she is in the mioddle of the event and on the point of saying.
"Will" is the context can also be seen as the mother's strong willingness to comment the situation while observing the process or when she knows the incident.
B - is possible and can be seen as the guess of mother's intention.
C - does not work as it is not in line with the context and grammatically unclear.
