    C. Predict that Romeo and Juliet do not survive at the end of the play

    The line specifically tells you that a pair lovers commit suicide. They do not survive at the end of the play. An audience, who knows nothing about the play, does not know that the lovers are Romeo and Juliet until a bit later since the prologue does not mention their names. However, the audience does know that it is the children of the feuding families when it says "from forth the fatal loins of these two foes".

    I would say C, Predict that they do not survive at the end of the play, because the specific line doesn't reveal why nor does it reveal the enemies. It reveals what happens to Romeo and Juliet so the answer can't be D.
