Which phrase best describes the plot archetype in this story?

Every night when six-year-old Osha went to sleep, she had nightmares
about a ghost in her closet. In her dream, she could see glowing red
eyes peeking through the crack under the door. She dreaded going to
bed because of it.
Then one night, she had the nightmare again. She was tired of her
dreams being a source of fear and panic; she wanted to enjoy them
again. In her dream, she got out of bed and threw open the door to the
closet. "Don't ever bother me again!" she screamed. The ghost in her
closet crouched in fear and never returned after that night.

Answer:

A. Defeating the monster

Step-by-step explanation:

the archetype can be identified when the girl shouts "Don't ever bother me again!"

here, she is fighting the monster away with words. She stands up against the monster (that is the main point, which indicate the answer)

B and C doesn't make sense, cause she doesn't start very poor and become rich with anything at the end of the story, nor does she become corrupted after a period of innocence.
