Answer: A. With compassion and love: he grants Paris's wish to be placed near Juliet.

Explanation: In Act V, Scene III, of "Romeo and Juliet", when Romeo discovers that Paris wished to marry Juliet, he reacts with compassion and love: he grants Paris's wish to be placed near Juliet. After killing him, Romeo finds out who Paris really is. He says that both have suffered from the same bad luck and that he is also a dead man, as he is going to kill himself. He then buries Paris in Juliet's tomb.
