Answer: C

Explanation: took the test

Answer 2

The correct answer here is C. The lines 'If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature?' most likely refer to the theme that things are not always what they seem. This is illustrated by the fact that the character is negating the fact that something is good through referring to events that have unsettled them.
