Answer:
c-a miscommunication that has serious consequences
Explanation:
Juliet looked dead but she was not. She pretended to be dead because she had followed Friar Lawrence's advice. The Friar had given her a potion that would make her sleep. Juliet had drunk it and fallen asleep. Therefore, she looked dead when Balthasar saw her. A burial was being put on as a show ; the idea was to prevent Juliet from marrying the wrong man, Paris. Yet, Balthasar took everything as if it were true and gave the wrong information to Romeo. Consequently, Romeo would run to Verona and this would spark off the final tragedy.
