Which of the following most likely functions as the resolution in a story?

I will give you a chance to explain yourself if you will please stop kicking that chair, young man.

I looked sadly into the eyes of my newfound furry friend and bid him a fond farewell.

It would be a long time before I would ever want to set foot in a boat again.

Waves splashed quietly against the pillars of the dock, lapping against broken oysters and barnacles.

Since resolution means to resolve something or solve a problem, I think A would be the best answer since the 'if' represents a decision being weighed on one's response; I could be wrong though.
