They keep their current settingsCorrect · your answerCorrect.
They stop receiving all updatesThey do not necessarily stop receiving all updates.
They immediately uninstall updatesDeleting a ring does not uninstall updates.

Correct.

Concept

Deleting a ring stops Intune enforcement but does not roll back device state. Devices retain the last applied settings unless other rings apply.

Why B

Deleting a ring does not modify settings on assigned devices; the device keeps its current settings.

Source

Deleting a ring from Intune doesn't modify the settings on devices that were assigned the update ring. Instead, the device keeps its current settings.
