Read the excerpt from Act III of Hamlet.To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause.

Hamlet compares death to sleep, but then worries about the dreams that might come in that sleep. The phrase “what dreams may come” shows that he does not know what happens after death, and that uncertainty makes him hesitate. Choice B, “He is uncertain about what will happen in the afterlife,” best expresses this idea.
