Beah uses flashbacks instead of revealing events chronologically to emphasize the regret he feels.  Option A is correct. A flashback is conidered an action scene. A flashback takes the reader from the current time or momento of the narrative to a previous time. This tends to happens quickly, and right after that readers are returned to the present.  Flashbacks can be developed in a sentence, a paragraph, a scene, or even an entire chapter.
