Step-by-step explanation:

In analyzing the excerpts presented, the sentence that introduces the conflict that develops the theme can be identified as option d) "You are to wait here, you boy, said Estella; and disappeared and closed the door." This particular sentence introduces the conflict by creating a scenario of being left alone and instructions that the character needs to follow, which can lead to a development in the plot and hence, can develop the theme of the story.

The conflict and theme are generally tied together in literature where the understated tension introduced by Estella leaving and commanding the boy to wait sets the stage for the unfolding narrative. option d is answer
