Answer 2

Well, climax is the part of the story right before the conflict is resolved, and resolution happens after the conflict is resolved, so these wouldn't work to star the conflict.
Exposition and complicating incident both occur towards the beginning of the story, but only one of them directly involves the conflict.
What do you think?
