No Resistor never shorts.

If R2 is short. It is obvious no voltage drop and hence voltage are same at point B and C.

Vt = 28v.
Va = 28v.
Vb = Va-V1.

So Vc = Vb-V2.
Here,V2 = It*R2.
So if R2 goes short means R2=0 and also V2=0.
Then Vb = Vc.

Vt=28v
Va=28v
Vb=Va-V1
Where V1=It*R1 and It=Vt/Rt
So Vc=Vb-V2
Where V2=It*R2
So if R2 goes short means R2=0 and also V2=0
Then Vb=Vc.

Here R2 will be short due to it voltage drop will be zero so voltage at point B equal to point C. If R2 will open then voltage between B and C is equal to between A and D.

Resistance will not short at any time. Resistance failure means it will opens only.

The total current in circuit is i=28/10kohm=2.8ma.

From nodal analysis (Vb-Vc)/R2=2.8ma for Vb=Vc R2 must be zero.

Hence R2 is short circuited.

The ans. should be right bcoz if we do R1 and R3 short than there must be some voltage drop across R2 and point B and C is not equal voltage and take option D(R2 is open)than CKT is not complite, so we can go with option B, In this B=C so that the voltage is equal at both the points.
