B. He mentions Caesar's will but initially refuses to read it.

Antony's speech is remarkable because of the ample and excellent use of various rhetorical devices. One of the ways in which Antony creates a persuasive speech is by building up anticipation. He does this when he mentions Caesar's will several times, but refuses to read it. This excites the crowd, and makes them more likely to listen attentively to his words.
