Answer:

Letter C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt belongs to Act I from The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, by English poet and writer William Shakespeare.

Letter A is incorrect because the semantic field and the tone used by Claudius is very distant from being warm or fatherly.

B is also incorrect because the speaker doesn't seem to be sad or upset.

Option D is not related to the excerpt because of the tone, which is very different from joyful or lighthearted.

C is correct because Claudius' words criticize some characteristics that can become a curse when not done properly.
