In a play, the rising action consists of the events that lead up to the
a. last line in the scene
b. climax
c. external conflict
d. internal conflict

The correct answer is B. Climax

Explanation:

Most stories, novels, plays, etc. develop following a specific structure that is known as Plot. The Rising Action is the second stage in the plot and in this, the main conflict emerges; also, during the rising action events, the characters' actions and other elements contribute to the development of the main conflict. Due to this, during the Rising Action, the conflict increases until it reaches the climax or highest conflict point which is the third stage in a plot. Therefore the rising action includes events that lead up to the climax, this occurs before the falling action and the resolution of the story.
