When a character overcomes several obstacles on the way to his or her journey's end, this is known as the falling action. Option A is correct.

Falling action is developed right after the climax, when the main problem of the story resolves. It is one of the elements of the plot of the story, along with elements such as exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution. Falling action wraps up the narrative, resolves its loose ends, and gives way to the closure.

Falling action: the part of a literary plot that occurs after the climax has been reached and the conflict has been resolved.

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".
