Which plot element features the conflicts and challenges encountered by characters in a narrative?

a. Exposition

b. Rising Action

c. Climax

d. Resolution

The correct answer is B. Rising action. The exposition is the introduction to the background of the story, the setting, the characters and similar things. The climax is the peak of the play when all the conflicts get as developed as they can be. The resolution is how they are resolved and it leads to either a new rising action climax resolution trio, or it leads to the end of the play.
