Answer:
The story element that plays a key role in this conflict is:
B. setting
Explanation:
Setting can be defined as the "where and when" of a story: the place, the time in history, the social context and so on in which the story develops. In this excerpt from "White Fang", by author Jack London, the setting is creating the conflict. It shows that White Fang is torn between the safety of the camp and the independence of the wild. White Fang is half-wolf and half-dog, and even though he has been domesticated, there is still a part of him that calls him back to the forest, to the wilderness.
