B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is B because 'furniture' is an uncountable noun, so it takes a singular verb 'is' and singular pronoun 'it'. Options A and D incorrectly use 'furnitures' which is not a valid plural form. Option C incorrectly uses 'are' (plural verb) with 'furniture' (uncountable, grammatically singular).
