Answer:
The answer is indeed letter B.
Explanation:
Our purpose is to combine sentences 8 and 9 from the excerpt:
<em>(8) Umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra. </em>
<em>(9) Umbra means “shade.”</em>
Since the noun "umbra" appears in both sentences and functions as the subject in the second one, an effective way to connect the sentences would be by substituting the repeated word for a relative pronoun. Since "umbra" does not refer to a person, we may eliminate the relative pronoun "who" and choose between "that" and "which". Option B does precisely that: it uses the pronoun "which" to substitute "umbra" and connect the sentences:
b. Umbrella comes from the Latin word umbra, which means “shade.”
