It's either A. Cruel or C. Worried because Romeo and Mercutio were not invited and they snuck into the household. So Romeo could be worried as he fears that he might get caught.

The idea of sneaking into the household is cruel as it's breaking the law (not like there were many laws back then).

I hope this helps!!
