Answer:

a.) Comic relief.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the story of Macbeth and his greed which led to his downfall. The play follows the rise and tragic downfall of Macbeth, infused with themes of betrayal, greed, murder, and self-interest.

The porter's speech in Act II scene iii of the play is a departure from the tragic scene that is to follow right after. The readers know King Duncan has been murdered but the other characters did not know that yet. When Macduff and Lennox knocked at the door and the porter pretended to be the doorkeeper of Hell, this scene provides comic relief to the otherwise tragic scene.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.

Summary:

One rainy day, Victor wakes to find his old feelings of despair resurfacing. He decides to travel to the summit of Montanvert, hoping that the view of a pure, eternal, beautiful natural scene will revive his spirits.  When he reaches the glacier at the top, he is momentarily consoled by the sublime spectacle. As he crosses to the opposite side of the glacier, however, he spots a creature loping toward him at incredible speed. At closer range, he recognizes clearly the grotesque shape of the monster. He issues futile threats of attack to the monster, whose enormous strength and speed allow him to elude Victor easily.
