Solution

The correct answer is B. "had to borrow". The sentence is in the past tense, so the verb that follows should also be in the past tense. "Had to borrow" indicates a past necessity, which fits the context of the sentence. The speaker ran out of sugar and therefore needed to borrow some from the neighbor.
