Apologies for any confusion. Upon reconsideration, the correct answer is A: That love makes all of life worthy of scorn.

Answer 5

I apologize for the earlier confusion. After a closer analysis, the correct answer is B: That love compensates for life's troubles. In these concluding lines, Shakespeare suggests that the memories of his beloved are so valuable that they bring him great wealth and contentment, to the point where he disdains the idea of exchanging his state with even kings. It implies that the power of love can fully compensate for the troubles and challenges in life.
