C. The suspense builds as Claudius clarifies Laertes's goal.

Explanation:

Claudius slyly turns away Laertes' resentment from himself as the ruler who is in charge of neglecting to secure his instructor, to the individual in charge of Polonius' homicide (and that is, obviously, Hamlet).

Along these lines, this minute is just expected to fabricate tension. Laertes isn't a piece of the most vital plot line (Hamlet's vengeance), so his thought processes can't enable the activity to achieve its peak, nor resolve it. It is only one greater component that helps drive the action further.
