Answer 2

Answer: A) Character vs. society.

Step-by-step explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt from Julius Caesar, we can see a conversation between Casca and Cassius about the reaction of the people to Caesar refusing to take the crown, this situation is an example of an external conflict, specifically a character (Caesar) vs. society (the people) conflict.
