Answer:
A prince cannot marry for love.
Explanation:
<em>Hamlet </em>is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It tells about a prince of Denmark, Hamlet, who seeks revenge against his uncle, Claudius, after he murdered Hamlet's father in order to take over the throne and marry Hamlet's mother.
Ophelia is a young noblewoman, the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes, and Hamlet's lover. In the end, because of Hamlet's actions, she ends up losing her mind, falling into a river, and drowning.
In the given excerpt from Act I, Laertes warns her that Hamlet doesn't have the freedom to choose whom he is going to marry. He is a prince, and nobles of that level don't get to choose their partners. It's usually their parents who choose instead of them. Laertes knows this, and wanting to protect his sister's purity, he warns her.
This is why the first option is the correct one.
