B
He became afraid and surrendered
C

D
He became depressed and killed himself
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How does Macbeth’s attitude about the battle change? Macbeth was super confident and later became fearful.

Detailed explanation-2: -It turns out he was taken from his mother’s womb prematurely, and so he technically isn’t of woman born. Macduff demands surrender, and Macbeth refuses. The two fight until Macduff kills Macbeth, chops off his head, and presents it to a triumphant Malcolm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Macbeth believes that he is invincible over Macduff’s army because the Witches and the apparitions prophesied “none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth” (4.1.82–83) and “Macbeth shall never vanquished be until / Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill / Shall come against him” (4.1.96–98).

Detailed explanation-4: -Macbeth taunts Macduff but Macduff just wants to fight. Macbeth claims that he cannot be defeated because of the witches’ prophecy but Macduff then reveals that he was born by Caesarean birth.
