Answer:
Times grew worse and worse with Rip Van Winkle as years of matrimony rolled on; a tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use. For a long while he used to console himself, when driven from home, by frequenting a kind of perpetual club of the sages, philosophers, and other idle personages of the village; which held its sessions on a bench before a small inn, designated by a rubicund portrait of His Majesty George the Third. Here they used to sit in the shade through a long lazy summer's day, talking listlessly over village gossip, or telling endless sleepy stories about nothing. But it would have been worth any statesman's money to have heard the profound discussions that sometimes took place, when by chance an old newspaper fell into their hands from some passing traveller. How solemnly they would listen to the contents, as drawled out by Derrick Van Bummel, the schoolmaster, a dapper learned little man, who was not to be daunted by the most gigantic word in the dictionary; and how sagely they would deliberate upon public events some months after they had taken place.
The opinions of this junto were completely controlled by Nicholas Vedder, a patriarch of the village, and landlord of the inn, at the door of which he took his seat from morning till night, just moving sufficiently to avoid the sun and keep in the shade of a large tree; so that the neighbors could tell the hour by his movements as accurately as by a sundial. It is true he was rarely heard to speak, but smoked his pipe incessantly. His adherents, however (for every great man has his adherents), perfectly understood him, and knew how to gather his opinions. When anything that was read or related displeased him, he was observed to smoke his pipe vehemently, and to send forth short, frequent and angry puffs; but when pleased, he would inhale the smoke slowly and tranquilly, and emit it in light and placid clouds; and sometimes, taking the pipe from his mouth, and letting the fragrant vapor curl about his nose, would gravely nod his head in token of perfect approbation.

Explanation:
This passage speaks mostly about Banquo's astute understanding of how the agents of evil work: they tell the truth about things that don't matter. Then they betray us in things that really do matter.
Which answer is closest to that interpretation? It certainly isn't B. There is no mention of Banquo's children. Nor of his children becoming kings.
C is possible. But there is no mention of Duncan at all. He says nothing about how Macbeth will go beyond being Thane of Cawdor. Just that there is something beyond the Thane of Cawdor.
D is not in support of murdering Duncan to get the throne. Banquo never was in favor of killing Duncan and he won't be when Macbeth does the grisly deed.
That leaves A. The remark I put at the beginning says just about what Banquo says in the passage.
"I have a dream that I'm in the jungle but if necessary with ice"
Lol:) I don't know though sorry :) Forgive me......?
