She sees him while looking out the window
B
Macbeth includes the information in a letter
C
A messenger tells her that he is coming
D
Macbeth tells her when he comes home
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lady Macbeth knew that Duncan was coming to her castle because the messenger informed her.

Detailed explanation-2: -She fears that Macbeth lacks the ruthlessness he needs to kill Duncan and fulfill the witches’ second prophecy. When she learns that Duncan is coming to visit, she calls upon supernatural agents to fill her with cruelty.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lady Macbeth Meets the King Lady Macbeth knows exactly how to respond. She humbles herself in front of the King, and says, ‘’All our service in every point twice done, and then done double, Were poor and single business to contend Against those honours deep and broad wherewith Your majesty loads our house.

Detailed explanation-4: -Then she tells him her plan: while Duncan sleeps, she will give his chamberlains wine to make them drunk, and then she and Macbeth can slip in and murder Duncan. They will smear the blood of Duncan on the sleeping chamberlains to cast the guilt upon them.

Detailed explanation-5: -In other words, she already feels like a queen. Macbeth then says that Duncan is arriving that night, as though he’s just telling her the news. However, Lady Macbeth already knows about Duncan’s arrival, and Macbeth probably knows that his wife knows, because he’s the one who sent the messenger.
