B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The witches’ first prophecy comes true and King Duncan makes Macbeth Thane of Cawdor. When King Duncan visits Macbeth’s castle, Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to murder King Duncan in his sleep to make the second prophecy come true.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even though both were involved, Lady Macbeth was most responsible for the killing of King Duncan because she is the more evil character, she manipulated her husband into doing it, and because she established the details of the plan to kill Duncan. Evil was a recurring theme throughout the tragedy of Macbeth.

Detailed explanation-3: -She tells Macbeth that once Duncan is asleep, she’ll get his servants so drunk that they pass out. Then she and Macbeth can kill Duncan and blame his servants for the killing. Lady Macbeth’s plan is good enough to convince Macbeth to change his mind and agree to kill Duncan.
