Which statement best describes the resolution of "Sleeping Beauty”? Aurora turns 16. The prince rescues Aurora. Aurora wakes up. Maleficent casts a spell.

The options provided in the question are not valid for the main answer. The missing and final resolution of the story of "Sleeping Beauty" is that the queen/ogress was so enraged with what had happened. Then she flung herself into the pit that had been filled with the horrid reptiles she herself had requested to be done.

The last statements or passage in the story reads-

"No one dared tell him, when the ogress, enraged at what she saw, flung herself head foremost into the copper, where she was instantly devoured by the horrid reptiles, with which she had herself caused it to be filled."

All the options provided in the question are not part of the final resolution of "Sleeping Beauty", thus the final correct answer will/should be

The Queen throws herself into the pit of reptiles.

The statement that best describes the resolution of "Sleeping Beauty" is "Aurora wakes up."

The resolution is the part of a plot where the story ends, and where all problems presented during the plot are resolved.

Other parts of the plot are called:

Introduction.
Rising action.
Climax.
Falling action.

Regarding "Sleeping Beauty," we can say that this is the tale where a girl named Aurora is cursed by a witch to sleep for a thousand years and only be awakened by the kiss of true love.

At the end of the story, a prince kisses Aurora, causing her to wake up, ending the tale.

For this reason, we can say that among the options presented, the option that shows that Aurora was awakened is the one that best represents the resolution of the plot.
