I would say the correct answer is B) Which is not tomb enough and continent To hide the slain?—O, from this time forth, My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth! (Hamlet, act IV, scene IV)
He says in this line that he should be bent on revenge and finally go through with it and stop dwelling on whether or not he should do it. And after that scene he does actually start making plans for Claudius' murder, which does happen in the end when almost everyone actually dies.
