B is Correct. During congestion, traffic shaping buffers and queues packets above the committed rate. Answer A describes Policing dropping packets exceeding a certain bitrate. Answer C is describing packet fragmentation when the router receives an IP packet above 1500 bytes. Answer D is sort of describing Random Early Detection (RED) which is a congestion avoidance mechanism that randomly drops packets from RED-enabled interfaces or queues during periods of high congestion. RED tells the packet source to decrease its transmission rate.
