Answer 2

The correct answer is D. She is convinced that she sees the blood of Duncan's and Banquo's families on her hands.
We can see in the play that Lady Macbeth is constantly washing her hands saying 'Out, d.amn spot!" but is ultimately unable to wash her hands clean because there is no actual blood there in the first place. It is just her guilty conscious playing tricks on her, which ultimately led her to commit suicide.
