even while men’s minds are wild, lest more mischance
on plots and errors happen. (345)
fortinbras: let four captains
bear hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage;
for he was likely, had he been put on,
to have prov’d most royally: and, for his passage,
the soldiers’ music and the rites of war (350)
speak loudly for him.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

From the text, Fortinbras says he has "some rights of memory in this kingdom" and "to claim my vantage doth invite me". Also, he orders the soldiers and makes arrangements related to the succession context (after Claudius and Hamlet's deaths), indicating he will be the next king. Horatio is a friend of Hamlet, Rosencrantz is a courtier (and already involved in the plot earlier), Laertes died in the final duel, so Fortinbras is the one to take the throne.

Answer:

B. Fortinbras
