Which sentence in the passage best describes the resolution?

Question

The Farmer and the Peasant

There once lived a well-to-do farmer and opposite his house lived a poor peasant; and the peasant thought if he carried on his cultivation just as the farmer, he might get more food. So every day he visited the farmer's house and heard what work he would do the next day. He imitated the farmer exactly: he plowed and sowed and transplanted when the farmer did and the result was good, for that year he got a fine crop. So he resolved to continue to copy the farmer.
The selfish farmer suspected what the peasant was doing and did not like it, so he resolved to teach the peasant to mind his own business. In January they both planted sugar cane, and when the crop was half grown the peasant heard the farmer give orders to put the leveler over the crop and break it down. This was only a pretense, but the peasant went away and crushed his sugar cane crop. It turned out that each root of the peasant's sugar cane then sent up a number of shoots and in the end he had a much heavier crop than the farmer. The farmer continued with his tricks and soon the peasant was sowing roasted pulse. Yet the few seeds of the peasant's which germinated produced such fine plants that when he came to thresh, he had more grain than the farmer. So in a few years, the peasant became the richer man.
