A
Inverting the output
B
Inverting the carry-in
C
Inverting the B inputs
D
Grounding the B inputs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ANS: C-inverting the B inputs.

Detailed explanation-2: -One way to make a four-bit adder perform subtraction is by: inverting the output. inverting the carry-in. inverting the B inputs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since, a four bit adder has four A, four B and a carry at the input end. So, for subtraction to be performed, all the Bs terminal should be inverted.

Detailed explanation-4: -The operations of both addition and subtraction can be performed by a one common binary adder. Such binary circuit can be designed by adding an Ex-OR gate with each full adder as shown in below figure.
