The correct answer is Queen Gertrude is caught between her new husband and her son.

B is definitely incorrect because his father is dead so he cannot observe his conversation; C is incorrect because Gertrude believes Hamlet should blindly follow what Claudius has to say; D is incorrect because Hamlet hates Claudius.
