Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet.Bernardo: ’Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Francisco.

Bernardo says, “’Tis now struck twelve,” meaning the clock has just struck the hour of twelve. In modern wording, it is twelve o’clock, so choice B is correct. The line is about the time, not twelve objects falling or someone being hit.
