Option B is incorrect because there is no evidence in the paragraph that Macbeth is in distress. Option C is correct because this option makes the most sense in terms of syntax and rhythm.

MACBETH:
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time, 5
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale 10
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
