Answer
A
He upsets Capulet by wanting to marry Juliet.
B
He helps Juliet by taking her mind off her sorrow.
C
He creates a problem by wanting to marry Juliet.
D
He defends Juliet against Friar Laurence’s insults.

Explanation

Paris acts as an antagonist because his desire to marry Juliet creates a conflict for her. Juliet does not want to marry him, since she loves Romeo, so Paris’s plans add pressure and stand in the way of what she wants. The correct choice is “He creates a problem by wanting to marry Juliet.”
