How did Lady Macbeth die?
A
Stabbed
B
Fell to her death
C
Drowned
D
Trampled by a horse
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After Macbeth becomes a murderous tyrant, she is driven to madness by guilt over their crimes, and commits suicide offstage.

Detailed explanation-2: -In this case the news comes in Act 5 Scene 5, when Macbeth hears a scream and sends Seyton to investigate. Seyton returns and says, “The queen, my lord, is dead.” Took off her life; Malcolm here appears to be confirming a rumor that Lady Macbeth killed herself.

Detailed explanation-3: -A woman’s cry is heard, and Seyton appears to tell Macbeth that the queen is dead. Shocked, Macbeth speaks numbly about the passage of time and declares famously that life is “a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing” (5.5.25–27).

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: After her husband kills Duncan, he begins to worry again that they will be caught. To reassure him that their fates are now entwined, she goes into Duncan’s room and dips her hands in the king’s blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -A deadly combination of ambition and guilt poisons both Macbeth and his wife and leads to their deaths in the end. Ruined by her desire for power, Lady Macbeth’s descent into madness is more vivid and guilt seems to affect her more than her husband, even though he is responsible for more crimes.
