Explanation:

In Romeo and Juliet, Act I, "mutiny" refers to violent conflict, specifically the feud - related fights between the Capulets and Montagues. Option A describes a group of young people fighting and brawling, which aligns with the meaning of mutiny (violent, disorderly conflict). Option B is a normal traffic - related, orderly action. Option C is a positive, celebratory parade - watching scene. Option D is a normal construction - related scene. None of B, C, D match the violent, conflict - based meaning of mutiny as in the play.

A. a group of young people fighting and brawling
