Which statement best explains why Hamlet alludes to Pyrrhus throughout Act II, Scene ii of Hamlet?

Pyrrhus is a figure in the story performed by the Player: he kills Priam to avenge his own father, Achilles. Hamlet is also trying to avenge his father’s murder, so the allusion reflects his own situation and strengthens that theme. It does not mean Pyrrhus killed Hamlet’s father; they belong to different stories.
