Explanation:

To determine when character development begins, we analyze each option:

• "When the story ends" is illogical as development should occur during the story, not after.
• "As soon as there are characters in the story" is correct because character development starts when characters are introduced, as they need to grow/change throughout the narrative.
• "Towards the middle...near the climax" is incorrect because development should start earlier, not wait until the middle.

B. As soon as there are characters in the story
