Okay so B and C are both in the exposition of the poem, so it's not those. D is right after the rising action begins, and this passage is used to show the ascension into the climax. That leaves, A, which occurs right after the climax, making it the falling action.

A. "M y entire wordly wealth was swallowed up, and I resigned myself thenceforward to despair." is an example of the falling action in "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allen Poe
