Answer

The audience learns about the soothsayer’s prophecy and Calpurnia’s dream, both of which are meant to protect Caesar from the assassination plot.

D
The audience learns about the trouble within the Second Triumvirate, the breakdown of Brutus and Cassius’ friendship, and Octavius’ troops being strong and ready to fight Brutus’ army.

Explanation

Act 4 takes place after Caesar’s assassination and shows the conflict escalating. The Second Triumvirate argues over power, Brutus and Cassius clash and then repair their friendship, and Octavius and Antony prepare their forces to fight Brutus and Cassius. These interactions develop the plot toward the coming battle, so the correct choice is the one describing those tensions and military preparations.
