Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In simple terms, the dramatic arc is shaped by the beginning, middle, and end of a story. The story begins with a brief introduction of the characters, setting, narrative, etc. i.e. exposition which is the first arc. Next is the rising action which is usually prompted by a key trigger (also known as the inciting incident). Such an incident rolls the dice and causes a series of events to escalate, setting the rest of the story in motion. Next comes the climax which will tie the loopholes together and reveal a higher truth. In the falling action, the authors start resolving the remaining subplots and mini-conflicts. The denouement in simpler terms is the wrapping up of the story. It is also known as the resolution. Hence the correct sequencing is c-b-e-a-d, i.e. option A.
