PRINCE: And for that offence Immediately we do exile him hence: I have an interest in your hate's proceeding, My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding; But I'll amerce you with so strong a fine That you shall all repent the loss of mine: I will be deaf to pleading and excuses; Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses: Therefore use none: let Romeo hence in haste, Else, when he's found, that hour is his last. Bear hence this body and attend our will: Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.

The prince says the Montague family has the right to punish Romeo because he killed one of their own, and now everyone is against Romeo. Thus, Man vs. Society is the correct statement.

Why Romeo kill his Tybalt in ACT III of Romeo and Juliet?

Romeo is so enraged by his friend's death because of that he fights Tybalt in retaliation. As the Prince approaches, he slays Tybalt and flees.

Benvolio describes the fight to Prince Escalus, who declares that because Romeo has killed in anger, he will be exiled from Verona rather than sentenced to death.

Thus, the correct option is D. Man vs. Society.
