Why does the porter most likely allude to Beelzebub?

In Macbeth, the porter jokes that he is the gatekeeper of hell, welcoming people who have arrived at its gate. Beelzebub is a name associated with the devil, so the allusion helps make the porter’s imagined role as hell’s porter clear. The best answer is D, “The porter is acting as if he were the porter of hell.”
