The conclusion that can be drawn about the soothsayer’s prediction about Caesar is: The soothsayer believes Caesar may be harmed soon. This is indicated by the soothsayer's statement, "None that I know will be; much that I fear may chance," suggesting that while he does not have specific knowledge of a threat, he does have a feeling of fear regarding Caesar's safety.
PORTIA. Why, know’st thou any harm’s intended towards him?
SOOTHSAYER. None that I know will be; much that I fear may chance.
Good morrow to you. Here the street is narrow.
The throng that follows Caesar at the heels,
Of senators, of praetors, common suitors,
Will crowd a feeble man almost to death.
I’ll get me to a place more void, and there
Speak to great Caesar as he comes along.
–The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare

The soothsayer is not sure if Caesar will be harmed or not.
The soothsayer's statement reflects a level of uncertainty. He indicates that he does not know of any specific harm intended toward Caesar ("None that I know will be"), but he also expresses concern or fear about what might happen ("much that I fear may chance"). Therefore, it is accurate to say that the soothsayer is indeed not sure if Caesar will be harmed or not, as he acknowledges both the absence of specific threats and the potential for danger.
So, while the soothsayer does believe there may be a risk to Caesar, it is also true that he is not certain about the situation. Thus, both statements could be considered valid, but your provided option emphasizes his uncertainty.
