In the given paragraph we can see an example of a character vs. character conflict, because Liam and Josh will compete for the role of the student council representative.

B). Character.

Explanation:

Conflict is described as a clash or struggle with combatant forces. It exemplifies a strong disagreement between two or more competing/opposing forces that are responsible for driving the story forward. Conflicts could be internal or external and against the society or character or any other force that aids to develop tension in the story and keep the interest of the readers intact.

As per the given question, the conflict in the paragraph illustrates the character vs character conflict as it proposes a clash between two characters(Liam and the representative of the student council). Liam shows a strong disagreement with him and his actions that represents a conflict. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
