Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

B is the only answer where no one in the story has any knowledge of Duncan't impending death. We, as the audience, know that he'll die. Or, it could be C. I don't know if it has to be all the characters who are ignorant, or only the character involved in the action. I'm going with B, though.
