Option B is incorrect because Lady Macbeth shows no guilt about the murder, instead pushing Macbeth to act. Option C is incorrect as it reverses the roles—Macbeth is not the one complaining about Lady Macbeth's obedience.

A. Lady Macbeth questions her husband about why he changed his mind. She calls him a coward for wanting to give up on the plan.
