Answer: B) Kerry needs to sleep, but his neighbor's dog keeps him awake.

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 passage we can see an example of a conflict (external) in a story, Kerry needs to sleep, but his neighbor's dog keeps him awake (because it misses its owner). So the correct answer is option B.
