The correct answer for the given question above would be option B. The statement that is true for the base forms of verbs is that, when the subject of a sentence is singular, add "-s" to the base form. For example, "He eats bananas everyday." The subject of the sentence is "he" which is singular. Therefore, the base form of the verb is added with an "-s" which is "eats".
