Explanation

Suspense comes from the scene’s eerie events and the questions they leave unanswered: the guards see a ghost resembling the dead King Hamlet, but they do not know why it has appeared or what it wants. These unresolved mysteries make the audience want to learn what happens next, so C, “has plot twists and unresolved questions,” is the best answer.
