Answer:
The correct answer is C: He ponders whether a miserable life if better than the unknown of death.
Explanation:
In his To be or not to be soliloquy, Hamlet questions whether it is better to accept a miserable life, with all of its problems and complications, like poverty, diseases, and aging, or choose death over life. He says that life is a lack of power, at the mercy of fortune and he realizes that if he chooses to live he would have to accept all of its obstacles, but if he chooses death, his decision would be irrevocable and he would suffer in hell because it is against the Catholic religion to commit such a crime against himself.
This is an existential speech, where Hamlet contemplates about the sense of life and asks himself if it is better to be alive or to be dead. Although he is talking about death, he doesn't intend to die, but to describe how people are afraid of many things just because those things are unknown to them.
