D
Remove the phrase "at the end of the story."
Explanation
The sentence already explains that Andrés’s journey leads to growth and success. The phrase “at the end of the story” adds little and makes the sentence longer, so removing it makes the sentence more concise. The best revision is to remove “at the end of the story.”
