Answer:

The only option that is CORRECT according to the use of the Simple Present Tense is letter B. She cooks dinner once a week.

Explanation:

In English, the Simple Present Tense is used to express habitual actions or universal truths. The rules are quite simple:

- for most persons of speech, we do not alter the verb. We simply drop the "to" that indicates the verb is not conjugated, and add the subject before the verb: to cook -  I cook; you cook; we cook; they cook.

- for the third person singular (he, she, it), the verbs will be slightly altered. Most verbs will have an -s added to their endings. Verbs ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -o, -x, or -z will have -es added to them. Verbs ending in a consonant followed by -y will drop the -y and have -ies added. Study the examples: she cooks; he goes; it flies.

Having those rules in mind, we can see that letter B is the only correct option. It conjugates the verb correctly, in accordance to the third person "she". Letters A and D present an incomplete form of the Present Continuous Tense, and Letter C conjugates the verb in the singular while subject is plural.
