It was as if she chose the perfect time in history to visit. The right people were there; the right topic was the current hot button; she was suffering from the right condition.

Valentin [98]
I believe the answer is the Climax.

In writings, rising action refers to how the conflict is build up.
Falling Actions refers to the part of the story right after the conflict is already solved (when the characters cheer and hugging after victory for example)
Resolution refers to the situation that created after conflict is solved (now the prince and princess live happily ever after)
