Explanation:

Part (a)

In "Romeo and Juliet", Benvolio (Romeo's cousin) tries to help Romeo overcome his depression from his unrequited love for Rosaline. Montague (Romeo's father) and Lady Montague are concerned but Benvolio takes action to distract Romeo. Tybalt is a foe, not a helper here.

Benvolio suggests Romeo go to the Capulet's party to see other beautiful women, essentially suggesting he find a new girl to move on from Rosaline. He doesn't suggest staying with Rosaline, focusing on work/education, or dating Mercutio (Mercutio is male and a friend, not a romantic interest option here).

Answer:

C. Benvolio
