Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hamlet has been taught to not believe ghosts. To make sure, he puts on a play with his uncle (the king) watching. A very unusual and shocking scenario is put up a person pouring poison into another's ear. Hamlet acts as the person pouring poison. While pouring, his eyes bore into his uncle's. Afraid and dumbfounded, the uncle runs out of the theater. So Hamlet observes his uncle carefully
