If metric is the same (we need to assume it is in this scenario , even if it's less likely) then OSPF will load-balance traffic.

I am choosing D because the static routes were probably manually entered with a floating value of 110.

The question is deliberately misleading since OSPF doesn't use static routes. However, a router/L3 switch will load balance across routes with equal AD and metric, even static ones. So load balancing will apply here too. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/5212-46.html

B. The router chooses the next hop with the lowest IP address. Administrative distance takes precedence over factors like the age of the route or the MAC address of the next hop. It is used to prioritize routes when there are multiple paths to the same destination, allowing the router to select the most appropriate route based on administrative distance values
