We know that water can be counted if it is inside a container or we use a measurement unit, we also can weigh water but we cannot count water by our hand because it is liquid. So water will be classified as uncountable noun and is a singular noun. A singular noun/subject always followed by singular form of verb. The answer B is correct because the wateris a singular subject and followed byspills (spill +s). Adding suffix -s in the verb that follows a singular subject is the rules of grammar.
