His own future death

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The show of eight kings are all ancestors of James I, from Banquo’s line down to James’ grandfather. Shakespeare does not show the queen, James’ mother. She was Mary Queen of Scots and not a popular figure in English eyes. James came to the throne after the death of his mother.
Detailed explanation-2: -In response they summon for him three apparitions: an armed head, a bloody child, and finally a child crowned, with a tree in his hand.
Detailed explanation-3: -They raise three apparitions, a Armed Head, a Bloody Child, and a Chile Crowned bearing a tree in its hand, who tell Macbeth to beware Macduff but assure him that no man of woman born can harm him and that he cannot be defeated until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane.
Detailed explanation-4: -The witches tell him he’ll be less happy than Macbeth but far happier, and predict that Banquo will never be king, but his descendants will be. Macbeth will soon murder Banquo to try to keep this from happening, but he will fail to kill Banquo’s son Fleance, who could end up making the witches’ prophesy come true.
