How oddly thou repliest: ‘Your love says, like an honest gentleman,Where is your mother?’
Answer

that Lady Capulet will overhear and punish the nurse for her interference
B
that Lady Capulet is not to be trusted and will betray her daughter in the end
C
that what the nurse is about to share may have very serious consequences
D
that the nurse will later seek Lady Capulet to tell her about the wedding plans
Explanation
Juliet is impatient because the Nurse keeps delaying Romeo’s message and asking where her mother is. The Nurse’s question hints that the information she is about to share should be kept private, since it could have serious consequences if Lady Capulet hears it. The best choice is that what the Nurse is about to share may have very serious consequences.
