The correct answer is Octavius's betrayal to Antony.

Antony orders Octavius to fight on the left side, but Octavius opts for the right. Antony questions this contradiction, asking, "Why do you cross me in this exigent?" Octavius's response foreshadows (or hints at) his later betrayal of Antony: "I do not cross you, but I will do so."

Answer:

The correct answer is "option C" that is, Octavius’s initial refusal to fight on Antony’s left side foreshadows "Octavius’s betrayal to Antony".

Explanation:

"Antony orders Octavius" to fight on his left side, but the latter opts to fight on the right. "Why do you cross me in this exigent?" – This is what Antony asked Octavius as he was surprised regarding the contradiction. Octavius's response was - "I do not cross you, but I will do so". His response to Antony is different as it hints towards his later betrayal of him.
