Answer: (C)

Exposition is the setup that introduces who Peak is, where he lives, and what he’s facing before the main action unfolds. In Peak, the opening background is established when he learns he’s dealing with a legal situation and is relocated into a new life—living under probation in Chang Mei—and he begins meeting new characters who will be important throughout the story. This foregrounds the new world he must navigate, explains why he’s leaving his old life behind, and creates the stakes and motivations that drive what happens next. The other scenarios describe events that come later or in different places, not the initial background that frames the tale.
