Solution
The Prince calls the Capulets and the Montagues “Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, / Profaners of this neighbor-stained steel” in Scene 1 because of option C: The two families have been feuding. This feud has caused much disruption and violence in the city of Verona, where they live, hence the Prince's harsh words for them. He is frustrated with their constant fighting and the unrest it brings to the city.
