Answer:

B. Resolution

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt shown is taken from the epic work "The Legend of Beowulf". This excerpt corresponds to the resolution of a conflict created by the character Unferth. Unferth is a very envious character, he is jealous of all the honor that Beowulf has won and created a conflict, when he spoke drunk that Beowlf was not as good a swimmer as he seemed. According to Unferth, Beowlf was weak, unworthy and Breca was a very swimmer. better than Beowulf.

The excerpt shows Beowulf's response to Unferth's statements. Beowlf brought a resolution to the conflict created by Unferth, without fighting, or insulting anyone. Beowlf calmly explains the reasons why he is the best swimmer and his calm and serenity shows everyone that he, besides being the best swimmer, is worthy of all the honor he already has.
