Explanation:

Nouns can be a countable or uncountable noun.

Nouns that can be counted are called countable nouns, like a student in a class, days in a week, marks in a particular semester, etc.

Nouns that can be counted are called uncountable nouns, like salt, sugar, rain, etc.

We treat uncountable nouns as a singular nouns.

"Are" is used with a plural noun, and "is" is used with a singular noun.

But in the given question, three spoons of sugar are mentioned, so the correct answer is "are".
