These statements describe a story’s rising action

Explanation:

Rising action is a series of events that occur after the exposition and move towards the end part of the story. Rising action is generally the major part of the plot, i.e. necessary events of the story happen during this time which are important for the reader. It is the intense part of the story.

After the characters are introduced in the story, conflicts develop. Then there would be a series of events which help solve the conflict. Thus, the rising action means the main part of the story which may lead to what finally happens. So, options A, B, D and E are correct options except Option C which is that it is the longest part of the story. The length of rising action is not fixed. It depends on when would climax occur.
