Answer:

In O. Henry's story "After Twenty Years," the main conflict is that one man is a criminal and his best friend is a police officer

Step-by-step explanation:

"After Twenty Years," by O. Henry is the story of a policeman who has an inner conflict, since the one who used to be his best friend in his youth has become a serious criminal and he is supposed to catch him and put him into prison, then in the story we see how he deals with it and how the use of suspense helps to create the plot.
