In Act II, Scene III, of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo visits Friar Lawrence and declares his love for Juliet. He then asks the Friar if he will marry them:
I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray:
That thou consent to marry us today.
The Friar is shocked that Romeo wants to marry Juliet because he claimed to be madly in love with Rosaline, a silent character in the play. In fact, Romeo was quite love-sick and it was the Friar who tried to convince Romeo to let Rosaline go because she did not reciprocate his feelings. The Friar then goes on to scold Romeo because he did not want him to abandon his love for Rosaline only to go on to fall in love with another woman. However, when he realizes that Romeo is serious about Juliet and that she reciprocates his feelings, he agrees to marry them. He also recognizes that this marriage is an opportunity for the two warring families to be reconciled:

Explanation:
This passage speaks mostly about Banquo's astute understanding of how the agents of evil work: they tell the truth about things that don't matter. Then they betray us in things that really do matter.
Which answer is closest to that interpretation? It certainly isn't B. There is no mention of Banquo's children. Nor of his children becoming kings.
C is possible. But there is no mention of Duncan at all. He says nothing about how Macbeth will go beyond being Thane of Cawdor. Just that there is something beyond the Thane of Cawdor.
D is not in support of murdering Duncan to get the throne. Banquo never was in favor of killing Duncan and he won't be when Macbeth does the grisly deed.
That leaves A. The remark I put at the beginning says just about what Banquo says in the passage.
