The correct answer is C. The term 'comedy' in the title of Dante's epic poem The Divine Comedy means THE POEM ENDS HAPPILY.

Dante Alighieri simply called Commedia (Italian word for comedy) his book, because, according to the classical scheme, it could not be a tragedy, since its ending is happy.

The Divine Comedy is considered one of the masterpieces of Italian and universal literature. Dante summarizes in it all the extensive knowledge accumulated over the centuries, from the ancient classics to the medieval world; his religious faith and his moral and philosophical convictions. The style of the work has a rich language full of symbols and frequent references to historical figures and ancient mythology.

How does the complication affect the story? It resolves the story. It delivers exposition. It introduces a theme. It intensifies
Simora [160]

It intensifies the conflict.


A complication adds to the problem of the story. The stories problem is the conflict. Many times there is more than one complication. When labeling a plot line for a story, the complications can be found in the rising action. This takes place between the exposition and the climax. The exposition of a story introduces the characters, setting, and conflict. The climax is the pivotal point in the conflict. The character can never return to the way things were when the story started out. Something or someone has been irrevocably changed.
