Correct answer: B
To delete the character to the right of the cursor, the Delete key is used. This key removes the character immediately after the cursor position.
Backspace deletes the character to the left of the cursor, so it is incorrect.
Tab is used to move the cursor or insert a tab, not to delete text.
Shift is a modifier key and does not delete characters.
