The correct answer is A. The play on words creates a light-hearted mood as Romeo teasingly compares Mercutio to a goose.
It is clear that Romeo doesn't actually think that Mercurio is an actual goose, but he refers to him as a goose when he says, "Nay, good goose, bite not." Based on their wordplay, we can tell that they are simply joking and are not angry with one another.
Read each act and scene one by one and rly pay attention. If you think it will help. Make characterizations for each character in each scene of every act. That’s what I did.
