The correct answer is B. The actor playing hamlet speaks slowly & deliberately, weighing the meaning of every word as he goes along.

By speaking slowly and emphasizing the tone of the words he uses, he would be protraying a sense of distress and cautiousness that in the other options provided the actor would not achieve. As the saying goes: less is more.
