Answer
A
Romeo and Juliet live in different cities.
B
Romeo kills himself by accident.

Explanation

The prologue says that two households are caught up in an old feud, and Romeo and Juliet come from those opposing families. Their families’ hostility is the central conflict that stands in the way of their love. The prologue also reveals that they will both die, but that is the tragic outcome, not the main conflict.
