Respuesta :

So I normally use the word Climax but I'm assuming that climax and main action are the same thing. The main action is definitely (B) - Mary's husband tells her that he is leaving her, because that is what starts the suspense.

Please tell me if that isn't right, I think it is.

The event that sets the main action of the story in motion is that Mary's husband tells her that he is leaving her.
