Explanation

The sentence refers to a real possibility in the future. Standard first conditional form is if plus present simple in the conditional clause and will plus base verb in the main clause. Therefore, 'If the invigilator rings the bell, the candidates will stop writing' is the grammatically appropriate choice.
