Read this excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank.

Anne: (Pulling out a pasteboard-bound book) A diary! (She throws her arms around her father) I've never had a diary. And I've always longed for one. (She looks around the room) Pencil, pencil, pencil, pencil. (She starts down the stairs) I'm going down to the office to get a pencil.

Mr. Frank: Anne! No! (He goes after her, catching her by the arm and pulling her back.)

Anne: (Startled) But there's no one in the building now.

Mr. Frank: It doesn't matter. I don't want you ever to go beyond that door.

Anne: (Sobered) Never . . . ? Not even at nighttime, when everyone is gone? Or on Sundays? Can't I go down to listen to the radio?

Mr. Frank: Never. I am sorry, Anneke. It isn't safe. No, you must never go beyond that door.

Which statement best describes the conflict in the excerpt?

Anne is challenging her father’s authority.
Anne is finally facing the reality of a life in hiding.
Mr. Frank is punishing Anne for her reckless behavior.
Mr. Frank is criticizing Anne’s interest in keeping a diary.
