Detailed Solution

Concept- Verbs are words that describe an action (sing) , an event (develop) , or a state of being (exist) .
Given that it starts with "if," the sentence is a conditional. ('If' makes a speculative claim.) Therefore, the appropriate modal verb is "would."
Would is a verb with a condition. When a statement presents a likely outcome to a hypothetical action (if I were the prime minister) , such as "I would fight corruption," it is the appropriate response.
Will presents a fact or an activity that is about to occur and is not a conditional verb.
Thus, the response is:
Fighting corruption is something I would do as prime minister.
Hence, the answer is would.
