Answer:

B. The conflict has been resolved and order restored — at the expense of the Pequod, its crew, and its captain.

Explanation:

The falling action is the section of a narrative that follows the climax of a story. During the climax, the story peaks in terms of excitement. After this moment, the narrative slows down. The conflicts are resolved and the story approaches its end. This is the section of the story that describes the falling action, as it follows the death of Ahab and his crew.

The answer is:

B. The conflict has been resolved and order restored — at the expense of the Pequod, its crew, and its captain.


In literature, the falling action comes after the climax, when the main conflict has been reached and finds a resolution. In "Moby D*ck," by Herman Melville, the falling action occurs after Captain Ahab and his crew are killed by the whale.
