Which statement best describes why King Claudius is a complex character in Act III of Hamlet?

In Act III, Claudius privately recognizes that he has committed a serious wrong by murdering King Hamlet. He feels remorse and tries to pray, but he is also unwilling to give up the rewards of his crime, including the crown and queen. This mixture of regret and self-interest makes him complex, so the best choice is “He expresses regret for his previous behaviors.”
