Respuesta :

I believe the correct answer would be A. Romeo thought Juliet was dead when he poisoned himself, but the audience knew she was alive.
Sadly, it would be A. 
Romeo didn't know that Juliet wasn't dead because the letter never arrived to him. However, the audience knew that she wasn't dead because they had saw that Balthasar didn't get to Romeo in time to deliver the letter.
