A) At the resolution of the story, when the reader can see how the story ends

B) In the middle of the story, before the reader can predict the outcome

C) Before the story begins, when the author is describing where the story takes place.

D) At the beginning of the story, when the action begins

I believe your answer is A) At the resolution of the story, when the reader can see how the story ends.

The universal theme in a story often finds itself placed at the resolution or the ending of the story. Allowing the theme to be revealed at the resolution can tie up the story and leave the reader knowing “the big picture”. The answer is A, to be clear.
