Explanation:

To determine the best definition of tension in a narrative, we analyze each option:

• "A feeling of joy and excitement" is more related to positive elation, not tension.
• "A feeling of relaxation and contentment" is the opposite of tension, as tension involves unease or suspense.
• "A feeling of pressure or suspense" aligns with the concept of narrative tension, which creates a sense of anticipation or unease to engage the audience.
• "A feeling of indifference and boredom" is unrelated to tension, as tension is meant to engage, not bore.
