d. the reader is meant to feel the tension of the conflict immediately.

Explanation:

In medias res is a narrative technique where a story starts in the middle of the action. This immediately plunges the reader into the conflict, creating a sense of tension. It doesn't primarily focus on theme - picking, character - identification, or questioning setting and point - of - view right away.

Answer:

D. The reader is meant to feel the tension of the conflict immediately.
