Answer:

B. setting

Step-by-step explanation:

"A Big Mistake" is a short story written by Stephen Crane.

An Italian vendor holds a fruit stand on the corner of the street. This stand with all its goods draws the attention of an unexpected spectator, a baby, who seems enchanted by all the delicious fruits placed on the stand. But, at the same time, the baby is afraid of the Italian, and finds itself torn between this fear and the attraction to the fruits.

The sentence from the story describes the Italian's fruit-stand, or at least, the baby's depiction of it. Since the stand is the where the story, the plot and the climax of the story take place, it's description represents the setting of the story.
