Answer
A
involves a character’s death.
B
shows the main character’s struggles.
C
introduces a man of high status.
D
has plot twists and unresolved questions.

Explanation

The scene builds suspense by presenting the mysterious ghost and leaving the characters—and the audience—with questions about who it is and what it wants. The uncertainty about the ghost’s identity and purpose makes the audience eager to learn what will happen next. This matches “has plot twists and unresolved questions”; the scene does not mainly focus on Hamlet’s struggles or a character’s death.
