To answer this question, we need to understand the sentence and the correct conjugation of the verb "acabar" (to finish).
First, let's look at the subject of the sentence: "Ellos," which is the third-person plural pronoun for "they."
Next, let's consider the tense and context of the sentence. The phrase "de empezar el programa" translates to "to start the program." Since "empezar" is an infinitive verb, we can infer that the sentence is in the present tense.
Now, let's review the conjugations of the verb "acabar" in the present tense:
- Yo acabo (I finish)
- Tú acabas (You finish)
- Él/Ella/Usted acaba (He/She/You formal finish)
- Nosotros/Nosotras acabamos (We finish)
- Vosotros/Vosotras acabáis (You all finish)
- Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes acaban (They/You all finish)
Based on the subject ("Ellos") and the present tense context, the correct answer is D. "acaban" since it matches the conjugation form for "ellos" (they).
