he fails to deliver a letter to romeo

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the role of the Apothecary in Romeo and Juliet (Act V, Scene 1). The Apothecary sells Romeo the poison he uses to take his life, which is a key part of the catastrophe. The other options: the person who tells Romeo Juliet died is Balthasar, the one who fails to deliver the letter is Friar John, and the Apothecary does not accompany Romeo to the tomb.

Answer:

B. He sells Romeo the fatal poison
