Answer:
exposition → the point in a story when the reader first learns about the characters and setting
rising action → the part of a story when the conflict begins and events follow from that conflict
climax → the most intense part of a story, where the main character faces a major crisis
falling action → the moment when the main character has a change of heart or figures out how to overcome the conflict at hand
resolution → the point in the story when all loose ends are tied up and the story ends
Explanation:
In literature, we can define the exposition as the part of the story where the narrator introduces the characters, the setting, and the theme to readers. This where the author sets the stage for the story to happen.
Rising action happens after the exposition, when the environment for conflicts to arise has been established. Rising action consists of a series of events, smaller conflicts, that will eventually lead to a major conflict.
Climax is the major conflict mentioned above, the point where tension is at its highest. This is where readers ask themselves what the main character will do to solve the problem or to deal with the situation.
Falling action takes place after the climax, when the conflict is being solved or has already been solved. Tension decreases, and readers can already see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Finally, resolution is the ending of the story, when the narrator ties all loose ends.

I think D is the best answer choice. for a work written around the time of the salem witch trials, you can better understand why extreme fear and condemnation of witchcraft might show up, and the author's purpose is a major thing to understand a work. C doesn't really make sense, because historical context is based on facts, so the context doesn't so much help you understand an author's attitude/opinion. B is true to some degree, but D is still a stronger answer as B is somewhat circular; historical context is an inherent part of a historical character? and A doesn't even make sense to me but i personally would go with D
