Solution
The correct option is A a tragedy Macbeth's soliloquy speaks of blood, murder and death even though most of it is Macbeth's hallucination):
"Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee....
...
And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,"
All these elements are often included in the making of a tragedy. Thus, we can conclude that the passage belongs to the genre of tragedy. The answer is option C.
