1."rains"(b)
In the first conditional, the if-clause uses present simple, NOT 'will'. 'It' is third person singular → 'rains'.
2."will pass"(a)
The result clause uses 'will + base verb'. 'You will pass' expresses a real future possibility.
3."will be"(c)
The result clause uses 'will + base verb': 'She will be angry'. Note the if-clause comes second, so no comma is needed.
4."leave"(b)
The if-clause uses present simple: 'If we leave'. Never use 'will' in the if-clause of a first conditional.
5."is"(a)
The if-clause uses present simple: 'If the weather is nice'. 'We'll' is the contracted form of 'we will'.
