Answer
Brief Explanations:
Conflict in a play is a struggle between opposing forces. Here, June and Sylvio have raised Lucy (the dog) thinking Mr. Teller abandoned her. But Mr. Teller claims she's his and wants her back. This is a character - vs - character conflict. The other options (raining is a setting detail, Mr. Teller being the owner is a fact but not the conflict yet, Lucy growing up is a detail) don't represent the main conflict.
Answer:
Mr. Teller wants his dog, Lucy, back.
