Answer:

C. Simon is murdered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Options A and B are examples of rising action, i.e. events leading up to the climax.

Option D is basically part of the resolution, i.e. the part of a story, in which the action comes to an end.

Option C represents the climax in the story when the boys led by Jack mistake Simon for the beast and kill him.
