C) Juliet considers poisoning herself before stabbing herself, while Thisbe simply stabs herself.

One of the differences here is that Juliet notices Romeo has used poison rather than a weapon to kill himself. She kisses him hoping that there is still enough poison on his lips to also kill her. However, this isn't the case so she stabs herself with his dagger. The other options are simply wrong statements about the characters. Juliet never decides Romeo is not worth it, nor does she decide to live. Thisbe is never happy her lover is dead. Both of the women are devastated by their lovers' suicides and therefore take their own lives.
