Answer: The right answer is the A) Hrothgar felt a strong and unending sorrow that he had no power to overcome. It affected both him and his subjects.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that Halfdane’s son was King Hrothgar, the exemplary and famous king of the Danes, whose kingdom had been threatened by the monster Grendel. As a result of that, he felt not just an unending, but also a strong and permanent sorrow ("living sorrow" [...] "simmered, bitter and fresh") that he couldn't get rid of and that "hung" on him and his subjects.

rewona [7]

“Hamlet”, Act I, Scene I contains suspense because it has plot twists and unresolved questions.

Act 1 Scene 1 takes place outside Elsinore Castle in Denmark in a cold winter night. Bernardo, Marcellus, and Horatio are seen conversing with each other about the unusual thing that they have been witnessing since the last two nights. Bernardo and Marcellus claimed that they have seen the ghost of the dead king and plans to show the ghost to Horatio as well. Horatio is a skeptic in nature and when he also witnesses the ghost he believes that something uncertain will be coming to Denmark. This scene actively participates in providing suspense to the plot of the play “Hamlet.”
