Answer: The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
This passage is a conversation between Hamlet and Horatio. They are talking about death. Hamlet thinks that no matter your position in life, no matter whether you are a noble man or an ordinary citizen, everyone ends up being dirt. and, in turn, converted to something else.
In this passage, Hamlet provides two examples of this line of reasoning. First, The Great Alexander died and he is buried. He then becomes dirt, dirt becomes mud. He asks himself if Alexander can end up being a "beer barrel." Second, with the same logical reasoning, he mentions the emperor Caesar. Hamlet can't believe that such ruler can end up as being something that "might stop a hole to keep the wind away."
