Answer:

B: Wanting the two characters to fall in love

Step-by-step explanation:

Suspension of belief in this case relates to the reader being invested in a story as if it were true, option B best depicts this because it shows that the reader is invested in the fictional characters and where the story takes them. C and D would not be valid answers because C relates to analyzing mistakes in the novel (which has nothing to do with suspension of disbelief) and D relates to the reader writing a variation of the story which is also clearly incorrect. A is also invalid because it relates to the genre and not the story. So by eliminating incorrect answers it is clear that the answer is B
