The correct answer is: **b. Their friends, the other Thanes, would not agree because he has done nothing wrong.**
In "Macbeth," Macbeth is concerned about the consequences of murdering Banquo, as Banquo is his friend and has done nothing to deserve punishment. Macbeth is wary of how others, especially the Thanes, would perceive his actions against someone who is seen as innocent.
