Answer 1

The answer is 

A; he has grown brutal 

Answer 2

The most important trait of a tragedy is the degradation of an honorable man, in this case Macbeth. In the course of the play, the audience can witness how the tragic hero becomes brutal. The right option is A. His determination to find his fate and the madness of his wife have made him become an extremely cruel person to everyone around him.
