Which statement best explains why Shakespeare alludes to the story of Pyrrhus and Priam throughout Act II, Scene ii of Hamlet?

The story of Pyrrhus killing Priam is a tale of a son avenging a murdered father. Hamlet hears the speech and connects its themes of murder and revenge to his own father’s death, which helps inspire him to test Claudius by staging a play. The allusion does not itself prove Claudius is guilty; Hamlet seeks further evidence.
