Explanation:

In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher", Madeline is prematurely buried. She breaks out of the tomb and enters the room. She dies, and Roderick dies immediately afterward, likely due to shock.

Answer:

B. Madeline enters the room after breaking out of the tomb and dies, and Roderick dies immediately afterward out of shock (not guilt as guilt is not the main cause here but the more accurate cause is extreme shock).
