At the start of Act II of Macbeth, Macbeth and Banquo talk briefly. Macbeth says that if Banquo supports him during the coming days, he will make sure Banquo is rewarded. Banquo agrees to support Macbeth as long as his conscience permits him to do so.

What does this action demonstrate about Banquo?

Banquo is naïve and foolish, unlike the pragmatic Macbeth.

Banquo, too, plans to commit a crime so that he can ascend to the throne.

Banquo witnessed Macbeth as he murdered Duncan.

Banquo values his own morals more than he values power or wealth.
