B Correct answer
Explanation

The proverb is 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' The original sentence misses the definite article 'the' before 'bush'. This proverb means that having something certain (a bird you've caught) is better than risking it for something greater but uncertain (two birds still in the bush). Option B adds the missing 'the' correctly.
