Solution
In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject-verb agreement. The rule states that only verbs with a third-person singular noun or pronoun (he, she, boat, courage) as a subject ever have an added "s" on the end. With plural nouns (but also the singular pronouns I and you) there is never an added "s" at the end of a verb.
This particular sentence is in the third person and is in the singular form.
Option A, C and D are wrong as the "s" is missing at the end
Option B is the correct option
