"Hamlet" is actually a play that was written by William Shakespeare. The excerpt above is taken from act one scene 3 of this play. And based on this, we can notice that the term sepulcher is used here. When we say sepulcher, this literally means a grave or tomb. And on the phrases listed above, the one that provides the clues for the definition of this word is "canoniz'd bones". The answer would be option A.
