Answer:

The situation that would most likely create tension in a story is B. Keith might fail a class, putting his academic scholarship in jeopardy.  

Explanation:

Tension is an element in literature that evokes emotions such as anxiety, fear, stress or worry. This emotion is usually created not only in the reader but also in the character. In this case, option B creates tension because it could be a turning point in the story of the character, and therefore it creates a tight conflict that could trigger a crisis point.
