Answer 1

Macbeth is happy that he wants to kill Banquo under the cover of darkness, as shown in option c.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Macbeth has little mental stability, which has deteriorated greatly after he usurped King Duncan's throne.
• This instability makes him kill many people and plan murders.
• These plans always have strange, exaggerated elements that show Macbeth's lack of control and the way he sees things

An example of this can be seen at the moment when he is happy with the possibility of killing Banquo under the cover of night, which makes everything darker and more dramatic.
