Incorrect spelling, explanation: sais is incorrect, and says is the correct one because the core verb here is say. Y transforms to i when we add suffix -s in case of a consonant before y. In say there is a vowel before y, so y remains. This way we receive the correct spelling: says.
Correct spelling, explanation: says is the correct form because this is a third person singular form of the verb say in present. In such a case we add s to the end of the word. y only transforms to i when it is preceded by a consonant, but if there is a vowel before it, it remains the same. Therefore sais is incorrect and the correct form is says.
Definition of says:
verb, third person singular of verb say; to pronounce, to express with speech
