The answer is option four.

The topic of the passage is a duel between Laertes and Hamlet. Claudius, who wishes to get rid of Hamlet, wants him to fight a duel with Laertes, pretending he bets Hamlet can win. Laertes, on the other hand, is eager to revenge his father's death, Polonius, who has been accidentally killed by Hamlet.
