B
He finally understands what they have been asked to do.
C
He grows confident that they will be able to help the king.
D
He starts to feel more comfortable with being away from home.
Explanation
Guildenstern says they may receive a reward from the king, and Rosencrantz responds that he likes the sound of it. His question about what “remembrance” means suggests he is thinking about what they might gain from the situation. Choice A best captures this self-interested reaction; the excerpt does not show him understanding the task or feeling homesick.
