Answer:

d. foreshadowing

Step-by-step explanation:

In these lines, Juliet expresses her doubts about the love she is confessing for Romeo. She tells Romeo that although she feels in love, she is worried that it is all too sudden. She worries that a love so intense might be short-lived. This is an example of foreshadowing, as it hints to the idea that their love will indeed be very intense, but very short-lived.
