*its not a or c my teacher corrected it and both were everywhere i look they say its a. ! *

B) hallucination which represents insanity.

Explanation:

This is a common motif in Macbeth that reflects an Elizabethan belief. During Elizabethan times, people had a very weak understanding of mental illness and mental disorders. Moreover, they also equated extreme feelings with insanity. One way in which Shakespeare represents this is through the use of hallucination. This "insane" characteristic can be seen in many of Shakespeare's plays besides Macbeth, such as King Lear in King Lear and Ophelia in Hamlet.
