BBanquo's

DDuncan's

Answer:

C. Three Witches'

Read Explanation:

The Three Witches

  • Three "black and midnight hags" who plot mischief against Macbeth using charms, spells, and prophecies.

  • Their predictions prompt him to murder Duncan, to order the deaths of Banquo and his son, and to blindly believe in his own immortality.

  • The play leaves the witches' true identity unclear aside from the fact that they are servants of Hecate, we know little about their place in the cosmos.
