B. move away from the mercury and notify the teacher :)

you should never use a broom to sweep mercury, it breaks the mercury in smaller droplets and spread them.
Pouring the mercury in the sink would likely be logged in the plumbing. and pickingthings up with the napkin may cause contamination and cuts from the glass.
