A.

Explanation:

Based on the options provided it can be said that the best example of magical realism is "Duke has to win the snowboarding competition in order to save his school." Magical Realism refers to literature in which the setting/world is still grounded to the real world but still has a touch of fantasy elements. In the case of the snowboarding competition, it represents magical realism because snowboarding competitions are realistic but having to win a snowboarding competition to save a school has never happened and is the fantasy element in the story.
