Andrea Arnold · Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Lady Macbeth will make sure the guards are drugged, allowing Macbeth to sneak in and stab the king to death.

The plan is to drug the guards first, because they are guarding King Duncan. Once they are sleeping, Lady Macbeth will take out their daggers, Macbeth will find the daggers, go into Duncan's room, and then stab him. Later on, he will become the next king, and Lady Macbeth goes crazy (obviously, not part of the plan).
