What is the most likely reason that Shakespeare would include a scene in a tragedy that focuses on a minor character who uses a commoner’s dialect and falls over everything?
A. to show that he is democratic
B. to promote a social cause
C. to poke fun at an unpopular politician
D. to provide comic relief

I'm not sure I think it's B...I'm probably wrong

No. I think it's D. The character is intended to be funny. Remember, there were often teenagers who could only afford to stand during a performance. Shakespeare wrote some scenes to keep these boys amused.
