To answer the question based on Friar Lawrence's description of the tomb as a "nest of ... unnatural sleep," we need to analyze the implications of that phrase.

The description suggests a resting place that is not natural, indicating a state that is forced or induced rather than a peaceful, natural death. In the context of "Romeo and Juliet," it refers to the way the characters are placed in the tomb—particularly in the case of Juliet, who is in a death-like state due to the potion she took.

Considering the options:

A) "It shows the body of a man who willingly chose to end his own life." - This does not directly reflect the idea of "unnatural sleep," as it implies a conscious decision rather than a forced state.

B) "It shows the body of a man in his family sepulchre." - While this may be true, it does not highlight the "unnatural" aspect of the sleep.

C) "It shows the body of a man who was carefully placed in a sepulchre." - This might be accurate regarding placement but does not speak to the idea of "unnatural sleep."

D) "It shows the body of a man who is unconscious." - This option aligns most closely with the concept of "unnatural sleep," as it implies a state of false death or induced sleep rather than natural.

Therefore, the answer would be D) it shows the body of a man who is unconscious. This option best captures the essence of Friar Lawrence's description.
