Explanation:

In narratives including stories, the conclusion refers to a final comment or result of a set of events. This implies, in the case presented the conclusion is related to the result or what happened after Tex completed the trip including positive or negative outcomes. According to this the best conclusion is "After his three-day hike, Tex knew that he'd never forget his amazing experience and that he'd probably get the best sleep of his life tonight!" because this is the only option that explains the outcome or result of all the events that possibly occur during the story; also this option helps the narrator or author to close the story by indicating the outcome of it.
