Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Duncan is established as a just, virtuous ruler. Heavenly/angelic imagery directly mirrors his fair, righteous reputation (Option A). Additionally, contrasting this virtuous imagery with Macbeth's plot to murder him amplifies the evil of Macbeth's act (Option C, as the truncated text aligns with this logic). Option B is incorrect because Duncan is not presented as a corrupt ruler.

C. Duncan is discussed alongside heavenly imagery because it emphasizes how evil Macbeth must be if he is planning to murder such a good person.
