When a story is told in the order in which the events occurred, this type of organization is called A. chronological order. Chronology has to do with the events being arranged in the order of their occurrence, so this is why A is the correct answer. The remaining options are not necessarily chronological. B, for example, has to do with inserting events from the past, and thus breaking the natural flow of the storytelling. Only the first option has to do with the exact order in which all the events of a literary work have happened.

The answer is:   [d]:   "a few spaces below the signature line" .
