to raise audience sympathy for the parents
B
to warn the audience about the bloodshed
C
to engage the audience in the tragic story
D
to build suspense about how the story ends

Explanation

The prologue tells the audience that the lovers will die, revealing the tragic outcome before the play begins. This makes the audience curious about how their story will unfold and draws them into the tragedy. It does not build suspense about the ending, since the ending has already been revealed.
