To be in hot water
Answer: B
To be in hot water means to be facing a difficult situation, usually trouble one has brought on oneself.
For example, He is in hot water with his boss for missing the deadline. The image is of being uncomfortably placed in water too hot to bear.
The other options read the words literally: a warm bath, a hot coat or spicy food. An idiom's meaning cannot be worked out from its separate words, and none of these literal readings is what the phrase means.
