A. It creates a conflict between the characters' desires and society's rules.

Explanation:

The time period in which the story is set allows the conflict to flourish. As the passage states, Darcy is "prejudiced" against Elizabeth because of her low-class status. This prejudice would not exist during modern-day, at least not as a result of society's standards. In eighteenth-century Britain, someone of Darcy's wealth was expected to be wed to a woman who mirrored his affluence or his family's background. Marriages that mixed opposing classes were looked down upon. This creates a conflict between the characters; what they want and what society wants for them.
