The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is "flees" because the subject "the man and the dog" is treated as a compound subject, and in the present tense, the verb "flee" should be conjugated as "flees". In this case, the verb must agree with the singular or plural subject, and here the subject is plural. Thus, the correct sentence is: \[ \text{The man and the dog flee through the forest.} \]
