Answer: D. It reveals the solution to a main conflict in the story.
Explanation:
In the story "the Lion and the Mouse", from the“Aesop’s Fables,” the Lion gets trapped in the toils of a hunter's net. He cannot escape, and starts to roar out of anger. Luckily for him, the Mouse recognizes his voice and helps him:
The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free. (Paragraph 5)
Paragraph 5, therefore, provides a solution to the problematic situation in which the Lion found himself. The Mouse helps him escape.
