Zachariah Harris · Answer 1

The correct option is C. It is an example of indirect characterization because the special ability of the main character was shown through her action.

Esther Huber · Answer 2

Learning about the special ability of the main character in this way is an example of C. indirect characterization.

This term means that the reader finds out about a character's abilities or qualities through their actions. Conversely, direct characterization means that the character or author themselves say directly what their abilities are. A and B do not exist as terms in literature.
