Answer 2

When Laertes says the above words after Ophelia’s death, the word woman refers to female weakness.

The correct option is D.

After learning that Ophelia had died of being drowned, Laertes associates his watery tears with  "too much water"  which Ophelia hid inside her. He wanted to speak and cry out the grief which he has been witnessing because of the uncertain death of Ophelia, but is unable to do so. He says that tears are the natural way through which grief can be poured out. He adds that grief is the symbol of female weakness. After the tears roll off "the woman will be out" of him.
