Benvolio: O Romeo, Romeo! brave Mercutio’s dead;
That gallant spirit hath aspir’d the clouds,

Romeo: This day’s black fate on more days doth depend;
This but begins the woe others must end.

Tybalt: Thou wretched boy, that didst consort him here,
Shalt with him hence.

Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe?

The correct answer is - Romeo: This day’s black fate on more days doth depend; / This but begins the woe others must end.

When you translate these lines into contemporary English, they basically mean that 'what happened today will have a negative effect on the days to come.' So he is explicitly saying that Mercutio's death will lead to tragic events further down in the play, and he was right. Eventually, both lovers died.

Answer:

B. Romeo: This day’s black fate on more days doth depend;

                   This but begins the woe others must end.
