Answer 1

C. In the midst of the accident, Declan suddenly realizing that he loved Marissa and would do anything to win her back is most clearly the climax. This is the point at which the tension in the story reaches its peak and the resolution (Declan and Marissa getting married years later) begins to emerge.

Answer 2

The climax of the story is most likely option C: "In the midst of the accident, Declan suddenly realized that he loved Marissa and would do anything to win her back." The climax is the turning point in the story, the moment of greatest tension or conflict, and it appears that this is the moment in which Declan comes to a realization about his feelings for Marissa. This realization sets the stage for the resolution of the story, which is likely to follow in the aftermath of the climax
