Answer:
C.
Explanation:
The arrest of Elizabeth Proctor for witchcraft at the end of Act II is an example of exposition.
An exposition in a story can be defined as background information about the settings, characters, events, etc. The word exposition is derived from the Latin word expositionem which means to show forth. So, the part of an exposition in a story is to relay background information.
In The Crucible, the exposition is seen in both Acts I and Acts II. So, the arrest of Elizabeth Proctor, the arrest of innocent and harmless ones, serves as a piece of background information for the rest of the play.
So, option C is correct.
