Best answer

Answer B

(B) Delivered on: is most appropriate. It means to do something promised.

(A) Delivered: this is not correct because it means promise was not made which contradicts the later part of the sentence.

(C) forgot: Does not fit properly

(D) reneged on: This does not seem appropriate, as if he never goes back on a promise then we should not loose confidence!

But never is used before the blank  so isn’t delivered also possible?

From here reneged on  also seems correct.
