Answer: (B)

Betrayal and fate are tested in Julius Caesar at the moment Caesar realizes one of his closest allies, Brutus, is among the conspirators. It is Caesar who utters the famous line Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar! The shock of hearing his trusted friend speak against him here marks a turning point, revealing Caesar’s sense of personal betrayal and foreshadowing his imminent death. The line is delivered as he is confronted by the assassins in the Senate, underscoring the theme that even rulers can be undone by those they believed were loyal. Brutus may have helped plan the betrayal, but it is Caesar who speaks the line, expressing awe and heartbreak at Brutus’s involvement.
