B Correct answer
Explanation

'The woods' refers to a forested area or a collection of trees. 'Wood' as a noun is uncountable when referring to the material, while 'woods' is the plural form meaning forest. 'Woddes' is an archaic spelling error, and 'wooding' is not a standard word. The definite article 'the' indicates we need a specific place.
