B Correct answer
Explanation

Sentence A is incorrect because 'If I were an umbrella, I would lend it to you' has a pronoun error - 'I' and 'it' don't match. It should be 'I would lend you mine' or 'I would lend it to you' if the subject matched. Sentence B is correct because 'If I had an umbrella, I would lend it to you' properly uses second conditional with consistent pronouns and correct tense structure.
