The correct answer is D. Conflict occurs within the plot structure and involves a struggle between two characters, forces, or situations.
Explanation:
Plot refers to the main events that occur in a story, novel or film and are presented a sequence of events that involve cause and effect elements as it determines how different elements in a story are connected. The plot is usually composed by different elements that include the introduction, in which the characters, settings, and conflict are presented; the rising action that are the events that lead to the conflict; the climax, which is the turning point of the story in which conflict is the most important; the falling action that is the beginning of the resolution of the conflict and the resolution which is how the conflict was or not solved at the end. On the other hand, the conflict is key during the development of the plot and it is defined as a struggle between opposing forces that can be situations, characters among others. Thus, the conflict is part of the plot as it represents a struggle between two characters, forces, or situation and has a role in all the stages of the plot (introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution).
