B Correct answer
Explanation

The clues point to a fish: 'broken glass on the floor' and 'water on the floor' indicate a fishbowl shattered, and 'shutters blowing in' suggests wind knocked it over. A goldfish named 'Sloppy' would die when its bowl broke and it was out of water. This is a classic lateral thinking puzzle.
