Answer: Option B - Deliver shares that are borrowed on settlement day.

Explanation:

Selling 100 shares of ABC shorts is a short sale or short-selling. It is a situation when an investor borrows shares and sell them immediately hoping the price to fall so he can collect the difference and return back the share to the lender.
