Answer :

In O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi," despite loving her long hair, Della cuts it and sells it. The following reasons motivated her to take this step :

a. her selfless love for Jim  

d. her wish to buy a Christmas present for Jim  

The following lines from the story give the answer to the question.

"Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim. Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him. Something fine and rare and sterling—something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim. "

Della is a loving person and there is nothing more she loves in this world than her husband Jim. She has been saving for months in order to buy a decent Christmas present for her husband.
