An effective plotline that moves the story forward should include foreshadowing that hints at what's coming next. Option D is correct.

Foreshadowing is a literary device by which a writer provides an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing tends to appear at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and helps the reader develop great expectations about the events to come later on in a story.
