Which of the following lines by Juliet foreshadows the end of the play?

JULIET
Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this, Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it: If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I'll help it presently. God join'd my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands; And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo seal'd, Shall be the label to another deed, Or my true heart with treacherous revolt Turn to another, this shall slay them both: Therefore, out of thy long-experienced time, Give me some present counsel, or, behold, 'Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife Shall play the umpire, arbitrating that Which the commission of thy years and art Could to no issue of true honour bring. Be not so long to speak; I long to die, If what thou speak'st speak not of remedy.

A. Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this,
Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it:
B .Be not so long to speak; I long to die,
If what thou speak'st speak not of remedy.
C. If, in thy wisdom, thou canst give no help,
Do thou but call my resolution wise,
D. Which the commission of thy years and art
Could to no issue of true honour bring.

The answer is:

B. Be not so long to speak; I long to die,

If what thou speak'st speak not of remedy.

In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Friar Lawrence is confronted by Juliet's distress. She is determined to kill herself if she is separated from Romeo and is forced to marry Paris. Besides, she is even in possession of a knife and is ready to commit suicide right in front of him, thus foreshadowing her tragic end.
