Answer:

B.To move the reader toward the story's climax

Step-by-step explanation:

Tension in a story helps the author move the reader forward to the climax, the climax is where the main problematic of the story is faced and then gets solved. It has to have a built up tension in order to be felt like a climax, and not just other situation happening in the story.
