Since a specific play was not mentioned, I'll give you my thoughts on the topic of the three-structure play and how it helps to develop a narrative.

The answer to this question is A. Mal It comes from the french language ex. Tres mal - meaning very bad. Its most used in greetings like asking how someone is.
