a. Banquo, who is loyal to the king, represents Macbeth’s last chance to do what is right and call off his murderous plan.

Answer from: ecletcicbeauty946

The correct answer is A. Banquo, who is loyal to the king, represents Macbeth's last chance to do what is right and all off his murderous plan.

Explanation:

Banquo is one of the most positive characters of this tragedy, he is loyal to the king because he is honorable.

Banquo warns Macbeth about the fact that his decisions shouldn't be influenced by the witches' prophecy. Moreover, Banquo tells him that he will always be loyal to the king.

"Macbeth: If you shall cleave to my consent, when

'tis, it shall make honor to you.

Banquo: So I lose none in seeking yo augment it, but still keep my bosom franchised and allegiance clear, I shall be counselled." Act 2 Scene 1 Lines 25-30

In this last interaction between Macbeth and Banquo, the latter states very clearly that he would always remain loyal to the king.

OPTION B is not possible because if Banquo actually knew what Macbeth was about to do, he would need to kill him before he kills the king, since Banquo and anyone would do anything to protect their king.

OPTION C is not possible because there's not any instance of comic relief in this scene.

OPTION D is not possible because the relevance of the character of Fleance is not connected with the main theme of this scene, this scene begins with Banquo and Fleance describing the spooky atmosphere that has set in Macbeth's castle. As a result, the aim of Shakespeare was to establish the atmosphere before the murder of the king, and the fact that Macbeth would have a last chance to stop his plan after speaking with Banquo.
