Future Continuous Tense,
Waverly will be using  his laptop for the next few hours.

To complete the given sentence, we need to use the correct verb form to express future action. Let's analyze the options:
A: will be weeding - This is the correct answer. It uses the future tense with the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the main verb "be" and the gerund "weeding" to indicate that Tina will be performing the action of weeding in the garden tomorrow evening at 5.30 p.m.
B: be weed - This option is grammatically incorrect. The verb "be" should be followed by the present participle "-ing" form of the verb, not the noun "weed."
C: will weeding - This option is also grammatically incorrect. The verb "weeding" should be in the gerund form "-ing," not the base form.
D: none of these - This option is incorrect as option A is the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is A, "Tina will be weeding in the garden at 5.30 p.m. tomorrow evening."
