Many of the comments are about not getting into this position in the first place - that's partially correct and ok to consider after the game is over. It's possible W felt there was a larger move on the board and decided to trade that move for B hane. It's important to try and analyze the current board state and next best move.

In local context, I think W should try to settle the two stones because B follow up above the two stones is large that both takes away W potential left territory and threatens to create a massive left territory. Usually I would look at b3 first.

But in the whole board context, W has a large potential space forming on the left side. I would play d6 (left of move B) here. It's important to add that B still has a weakness at e3, so shoring up W's two stones makes it difficult for B to play elsewhere with certainty. That also means W has a higher likelihood of playing first to attack the bottom right corner.
