None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Intensely moved, Hamlet swears to remember and obey the ghost. Horatio and Marcellus arrive upon the scene and frantically ask Hamlet what has happened. Shaken and extremely agitated, he refuses to tell them, and he insists that they swear upon his sword not to reveal what they have seen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because Hamlet claims not to care for his life and that the ghost can not harm his soul even in the event that he dies, he follows. Horatio and Marcellus think that the ghost and Hamlet following it is a bad omen for Denmark.

Detailed explanation-3: -Horatio is with Bernardo and Marcellus because they want Horatio to witness the appearance of the apparition so that they will have someone else acknowledge its happening. Horatio is listed as Prince Hamlet’s friend and confidant and Marcellus refers to Horatio as a “scholar” when the apparition first appears.

Detailed explanation-4: –Horatio tries to get the ghost to speak again to reveal if there’s any good deed he can do that will bring the ghost peace and honor him, if he has secret knowledge of Denmark’s sad fate, or if he has buried treasure.
