The answer is B: Exposition. The <em>conflict</em> in a story is introduced in the <em>exposition</em>, which is a literary device used by the writers to explain what happened before, where events take place, and the background of the characters. The <em>climax</em> is where the conflict reaches its higher point. The <em>resolution</em> is the solution of a complicated issue. The <em>falling action</em> occurs right after the climax.
