Help with a question (Verbal )!

[mansi.joshi]

I don’t understand why A is not the answer

[HoldMyBeer]

Option A would have worked if we didn’t have the line: " after having initially agreed to negotiate a settlement " – > then his refusal to compromise wouldn’t have been foreshadowed

[modishrey007]

Is the answer C?

[vidishas99]

Yes
