B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence uses indirect speech 'The teacher _______ the boys that' which requires past tense. 'Advised' is the correct past tense form of the verb 'advise'. 'Advises' is present tense, 'advice' is a noun, and 'shall be advising' is future continuous which doesn't fit the reported speech context.
