Which lines foreshadow Macbeth's eventual killing of the king?

A. Stars, hide your fires; / Let not light see my black and deep desires: / The eye wink at my hand; yet let that be, / which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.

B. I'll be myself the harbinger and make joyful / The hearing of my wife with your approach; / So humbly take my leave.

C. We will establish our estate upon / Our eldest, Malcolm, whom we name hereafter / The prince of Cumberland

D. My plenteous joys, / Wanton in fullness, seek to hide themselves / In drops if sorrow.
