sorry i know its 1 year later since this question was up but i didn't see any answer so I just put it here. Its correct trust me.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

"The Glass of Milk" is a short story written by Manuel Rojas. The story was published in the collection of his short story named "Hombres del Sur" (Men of the South).

The story is about a young boy who was refused any work. The pride then overtakes him and he also refuses to accept free food. But when hunger clashes with his pride and became stronger, he accepted cookies and a glass of milk from a woman in a cafe bar. Since the boy had nothing to pay, he left without paying and the woman also understood it.

So, the conflict was resolved when the boy accepted the free food in the cafe. So, the correct option is A.
