Explanation:

When we're reading a story and don't know what will happen next, we begin to feel tense. We want to find out what awaits the characters and continue reading.

An example of how a character's decision-making process might create tension is shown in option C. If a character is making an important, necessary, decision that may result in something bad happening, the story becomes filled with tension. This tension is resolved once it becomes apparent that there are no severe consequences or once these consequences take place.

The rest of the options are incorrect as they contain scenarios that wouldn't create tension.
