The answer for this is b

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercutio is victim of the tragic circumstances. Despite his loyalty to the house of the Montagues, he does not belong to either house. Mercutio's choice of last words before he dies is an indication of anger against the enmity of both families. "They have made worms' meat of me" reflects the blame Mercutio places on them and wishes a plague to fall on them.
