Answer:

B) That Jim is shocked that Della has cut her hair.

Explanation:

William Sydney Porter's (or more famously known as O. Henry) short story "The Gift of the Magi" shows the story of a couple, who through unselfish love for one another, ended up buying gifts that are useless.

Jim and his wife Della are two characters of the story. Though poor, their love for one another knows no bounds. With the upcoming Christmas festival, Jim and Della each decided to buy a little gift that the other person will like and make good use of. Della sold her long hair and bought a watch chain for Jim while Jim sold his watch to buy a beautiful comb. When Jim went home, he was greeted by a short-haired Della. This gave him a shock, with the realization that now his gift will be useless to her.
