Explanation:

In the context of the excerpt from Hamlet, "pangs" implies intense emotional pain. "Dispriz'd love" means love that is scorned or unrequited. Among the options, "heartache" best captures the emotional pain associated with unrequited love. Courtship refers to the process of seeking a romantic partner, romance is a more general term for a love - related relationship, and passion is a strong emotion but not specifically the pain of unrequited love.

Answer:

heartache
