The correct answer is B. Il pesce.
In today's lesson you will learn the verb to like in Italian.
Let's start.
Please repeat after me.
Ti piace?
Ti piace means do you like it?
It is followed by a singular noun or a verb.
It is informal.
To answer you say Mi piace.
Mi piace means I like it.
It is followed by a singular noun or a verb.
For example.
Ti piace la pasta?
Do you like pasta?
Si, mi piace.
Yes, I like it.
But if the noun is plural you need to say.
Ti piacciono?
Ti piacciono means do you like them?
To answer you say Mi piacciono.

Mi piacciono means I like them.
For example.
Ti piacciono gli spaghetti?
