The primary motive of any author should be to make the narrative engaging for the readers. If the readers like the way events unfold in a narrative, then only will they continue to read. And if they continue to read, they'll slowly come to know what the narrative has in store for them and will find the answers of the other options from the narrative itself. So, Option C is correct and the other options are wrong.

Keeping in mind the chronology of events is very important while framing a narrative. So, maintaining the sequence of tenses becomes all the more essential for proper production of a narrative. Thus, option B is correct. The other options are incorrect because they are just certain store-houses where one can get ideas to frame a narrative. They do not say anything about the construction of a narrative.

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.

Narrative is a spoken or written account of connected events or a story. Thus, Option B is correct and the other options cancel out.
