B) Laertes heard the funeral was obscure and lacked fitting ceremony
C) Laertes wanted to be the one to eulogize his own father
D) Laertes is furious because his sister was not invited to the burial

It might be said that Laertes was troubled because he heard the funeral was obscure and lacked fitting ceremony (option B). He was upset because of the way he died, the secrecy of his funeral, no funeral rites, no military display, no noble right, no formal ceremony were present.
