The correct word is "breath" (option A). The sentence should be: "I can hold my breath for one minute."
In this context, "breath" is a noun referring to the air you inhale and exhale, while "breathe" is a verb that means the action of inhaling and exhaling. Since you're talking about how long you can hold your "breath," you use the noun form in this sentence.

Let’s play :) Which word is correct?

“I can hold my __ for one minute”. 

A) Breath  B) Breathe

Breath.

Learning tenses can be difficult but once you learn the basics of sentence structure and improve your vocabulary it gets easier.

To hold your “breath” is the correct form. To do the verb is to “breathe”. 

the correct answer is ''A''. 
option B is a verb, so it's not correct in this sentence and context.

You take my breath away, yes breath is  correct!
