When does a story's initiating event occur?

A. between the rising action and the climax

A. between the rising action and the climax

reason of this is because the rising action mean that something sparked something else and now there is going to be a problem. The problem comes at the climax when you are facing the problem. Think of a movie like avengers, rising action was when Loki wanted to kill his brother Thor so he got frost giants to kill citizens of New York just to get his brothers attention. Climax is when they are fighting each other - hence facing the problem.
