Solution

The correct option is B Washes
The correct answer is Option B.
The sentence states a habit and hence, it should be in the present tense. According to the rules of subject-verb agreement, in the present tense, the verb becomes plural if the subject is in the singular.
In the given sentence, HE is the singular subject hence WASHES will be the correct form of the verb WASH.
The remaining options are incorrect because they are not verbs in the simple present tense. Hence they are not grammatically correct options.
