Answer:

B. He wants to take a ring that Juliet is wearing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how it went down. Romeo and Balthasar arrive at the cemetery with a pickax and crowbar at the start of act 5, scene 3. Romeo moves closer to Juliet's tomb and tells Balthasar that he wants to see his wife one final time and take her priceless ring for a special reason before entering her tomb. Balthasar is then ordered to leave the room immediately, and he is warned not to spy on him. Then, as Romeo tries to enter Juliet's tomb, Paris sees him and steps in, starting a fight that takes his life. After killing Paris, Romeo enters the tomb, gives Juliet one final kiss, and then drinks poison to end his life. After waking up from her drug-induced sleep, Juliet is astonished to see her husband dead and also commits s**cide.

What is Romeo and Juliet you may ask....

It is the oldest remembered Love Story(apart from mythology which just doesn't quite have the same feel) which ends in a tragedy(which is what humans always tend to remember and replay in their minds) , written by the most famous writer of all time...

Thanks!
