Answer:

Antigone's decision to defy Creon's orders and bury her brother

Explanation:

Rising action refers to a series of events which lead to the point of greatest interest in a story. In Sophocles' "Antigone," the moment the protagonist decides to bury her brother in spite of King Creon's orders eventually contributes to the climax. Thus, Antigone's burial of her brother causes Creon to imprison her, which finally causes her death.
