The correct answer is D. things are not always what they seem.

Macbeth is thinking to himself that all the luck he's been having cannot possibly be a bad thing - he managed to procure himself the position of a king of a country, so everything must be fine. He thinks that the witches may have gotten their prophecies wrong and that he will be fine ruling over Scotland. However, he was wrong - he dies in the end, quite tragically.
