The correct answer is: a. He looks too much like her father.

In Act 2, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," Lady Macbeth expresses her hesitation to kill King Duncan herself because he reminds her of her father as he sleeps. This moment reveals her internal conflict and the depth of her ambition juxtaposed with her emotional ties.
