During which part of "Hansel and Gretel” does Gretel challenge the old witch in the kitchen?

The climax is the story’s turning point, when the main conflict reaches its most intense moment. In the kitchen, Gretel outsmarts and challenges the witch, then pushes her into the oven to save herself and Hansel. This makes “the climax” the correct choice; the falling action comes afterward.
