The correct answer is B. Hints of what's coming next in the plot

Explanation:

In literature foreshadowing is considered a literary device that consists on giving the reader hints or information about what is going to happen later in the story, this usually implies the reader has access to future events but does not know how the characters and story get into that point. This makes the reader wonder about what is going to happen next and creates a suspense atmosphere that increases the readers' interest by making the reader anticipate events. Thus, if a story includes foreshadowing this will provide hints to the reader on what is going to happen in the story or in the plot (summary of events).
