Correct spelling, explanation: this form is correct, because it is the third person singular of the verb play. To create such form we add -s to the end of the word. In this case the word ends with y preceded by a vowel, so we do not change nor add anything else; we simply add -s, so we receive the word plays. Playes is incorrect, because there is no need to add also e in between. Plays is the only correct form.
Definition of plays:
verb, third form singular of the verb play, to act (in a play, a film etc.); to do an activity for pleasure or sports
Sarah plays chess but Mary doesn’t.
Everybody in this film plays incredibly.
Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect because there is no need to add e before adding s. Plays is the third person singular form of play, and we simple add s to the word to create such form. Therefore playes is incorrect and plays is the correct form.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is a mistaken, because according to the rule, in case of a suffix -s added to y which stands after a vowel (here a), the suffix is simply added without changing anything in the spelling. Therefore plays is the corect form and playes is incorrect. There is no need to add this e between y and s. Plays is the correct spelling.
Correct spelling, explanation: plays is the correct spelling of this third person singular form of the verb play. This is due to the fact, that when -s is added to a word which ends with y, and this y is preceded by a vowel, then s is simply added at the end of the word. Nothing else changes in the spelling. Therefore the correct spelling is plays, not playes.
Definition of plays:
verb, third form singular of the verb play, to perform, to act; to take part in recreational activity

О согласовании подлежащего и сказуемого в настоящем неопределенном времени
Запомните ПРАВИЛО:
В настоящем неопределенном времени (the Present Indefinite Tense), которое также называют простым (Simple) настоящим временем, смысловой глагол во всех лицах имеет форму, совпадающую с неопределенной формой, без частицы to кроме третьего лица единственного числа:
*** Особые случаи – модальные глаголы (не изменяются по лицу и числу) и
имеющие особые формы глаголы to be (формы am, is, are) и to have (формы have, has)
Рассмотрим примеры предложений, в которых подлежащее имеет третье лицо, а сказуемое выражает обычное, типичное действие (глагол в настоящем неопределенном времени):
Обратите внимание на окончание -s в словах boys и plays (кстати, в этих словах оно произносится одинаково (звонко): [z]).
Итак, существительные и глаголы имеют одинаковое окончание:
Если подлежащее в единственном числе, НЕ ЗАБЫВАЙТЕ об окончании -s/-es у глагола:
в утвердительном предложении у смыслового глагола:
а в вопросительном и отрицательном у вспомогательного глагола:
He doesn’t play.
Does she play?
*** Вспомогательный глагол do,
который используется для образования вопроса и отрицания,
имеет форму does.
В английском языке одно и то же слово может быть и существительным и глаголом, например:
name – это не только «имя«, это также глагол «называть» (см. в статье «Определители»)
watch – наручные часы или наблюдать, смотреть (телевизор)
И правила добавления окончания -s/-es к существительным и глаголам похожи:
Окончание -s/-es произносится
— глухо [s] после глухих согласных звуков ( [f k p t] )
— звонко [z] после гласных и звонких согласных звуков
— [iz] после свистящих и шипящих звуков ( [s z ʃ tʃ dʒ] и [ʒ] у существительных)
*** Если существительное оканчивается th [θ], может происходить озвончение, например:
В большинстве случаев для образования
Звук [i] помогает услышать звук окончания [z], который иначе слился бы с шипящим или свистящим звуком, на который оканчивается исходное слово.
В других случаях пишется окончание -es, но читается [z]:
2.
если существительное или глагол оканчивается на букву y, перед которой стоит согласный (ba b y), вместо y пишется i, а потом окончание -es, которое читается [z]:
3.
если существительное или глагол оканчивается на -o, пишется окончание -es, которое читается [z]:
Но довольно много существительных, оканчивающихся на -o, не подчиняются этому правилу, например:
Множественное число существительного «wife» в словаре Collins
