Explanation:

• Exposition: In plot structure, exposition is the part where background info (like setting, main characters, initial conflict) is introduced. So it matches D.
• Rising action: This involves the conflicts and challenges characters face and their responses, building tension. So it matches A.
• Climax: It's the turning point where the main character makes a key decision or takes action that changes the story's direction. So it matches E.
• Falling action: After the climax (main character's key decision), the events that follow are the falling action. So it matches B.
• Resolution: This is where all questions are answered and loose ends are tied up. So it matches C.

• Exposition: D) Background information is presented, main characters are introduced, the setting is revealed, and the conflict is set up
