The answer is 3) direct characterization, describing her physical appearance.

Direct characterization happens when writers write the exact characterization for the readers so the readers do not have to do any form of interpretation.

We can see the proof of this in this sentence Madame, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the "Sofronie."
