A. the conflict between Johnsy's recovery and her conviction that she will die.

Explanation:

“The Last Leaf” is a story about Johnsy, a seriously ill poor young woman. Her health condition continues to get worse. She declared and believes that when the last leaf falls off of the vine that is outside her window loses all its leaves, she will also die.

The last leaf seems not to fall because it was drawn by Behrman again as if it were to be real.

One of the moral lesson to be learnt from the story is that we should always help our loved ones if we have the capacity to do so. Also that true friend is someone who help you when in need.
