Answer: B

Explanation:

According to ECOA (Equal Credit Opportunity Act) and Regulation B, if a borrower waives the right to receive their appraisal three business days before consummation, and the transaction does not close, the creditor must still provide a copy of the appraisal within 30 days of determining that the loan will not consummate.

This ensures that borrowers still receive essential documentation, even if the loan fails to close.
