The default settings in Microsoft Word refer to the pre-set formatting that automatically applies to a new document. This includes settings such as 1-inch margins, Calibri 11 font, and left alignment, which are the same settings that Carissa observed in her new blank document. Therefore, the best choice is B, default.
