Answer 1

B. The rising action.

Step-by-step explanation:

Climax is third of the five elements of a plot. Climax is followed by the second element which is the rising action.

So, the correct answer from the given options would be the rising action.

The rising action is the element of a plot where tensions and conflicts are built. This element of the plot is where the author gears up the plot of his/her story. And, it is the rising action of the plot that leads to it's climax.

Climax is the part of the plot where the main character makes several decisions that changes the course of the plot. The rest of the plot depends on the decisions made by the character in climax. This element can said to be the turning point of the plot.

Thus the correct answer is option B.
