I'll add the excerpt here just to make this question complete:

Capulet: It is my will; the which if thou respect, Show a fair presence and put off these frowns, An ill-beseeming semblance for a feast.

Tybalt: It fits, when such a villain is a guest: I'll not endure him.

Capulet: He shall be endur'd: What! Goodman boy; I say, he shall, go to; Am I the master here, or you? Go to. - Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare

Answer:

The line that shows that Capulet believes Tybalt should respect him because he is Tybalt's uncle is:

D. "Am I the master here, or you? Go to"

Explanation:

The Capulets and the Montagues are enemies in Shakespeare's tragic play "Romeo and Juliet". Lord Capulet is throwing a party, and Romeo, a Montague, decides to show up. Tybalt, Capulet's nephew, is angry at Romeo's cheekiness. His uncle, however, tells him not to do anything and just leave Romeo alone. After all, it is a party. When Tybalt replies saying he will not put up with Romeo's presence, Lord Capulet puts Tybalt in his place by reminding him of who he is. Capulet is not only the owner of the house, but he is also Tybalt's uncle. He deserves and demands the due respect. That is made clear when he asks, "Am I the master here, or you?" Tybalt may feel insulted by Romeo's presence, but his uncle is the master, the authority, no him.
