Explanatory Answer

'I had better' translates to 'it would be a good idea if I‘ or 'it would be better for me to’. Also, ‘Had better’ is always followed by a infinitive verb (to run, to walk) but without ‘to’. Following this rule, here, ‘You had better’ must be followed by the infinitive word ‘tell’ without ‘to’. So the correct answer is B, You had better tell her everything, or else you will lose a friend.
