Answer: D. skepticism about the idea of being in love

Step-by-step explanation:

Romeo's words show his skepticism about the idea of being in love because his loved one won´t accept any romantic advances. Like many Shakespearean sonnets, this example has strong figurative language, like the allusion to Diana, the goddess of hunting and chastity. Romeo is longing for the woman he loves, but his description is a sad one because he understands he won´t be able to make her love him. Rome is probably upset about Benvolio's intrusive questions, but neither that nor a wish that Benvolio could also experience love, are the point of his words.
