The correct answer for this question would be the last option. What motivates the apothecary to risk his life to "help" Romeo is poverty. <span>Because of his (Romeo) extreme poverty and how the richest people didn't get to being rich by abiding the law, the Apothecary consents to sell Romeo the poison even though this is against the law in Mantua. Hope this answer helps.</span>
As someone who writes books, I'd normally use quotation marks, and the person is obviously talking, so the first one should be correct.
