Correct Answer

A. That character feels alienated

Explanation

When a character is shot with their back to the camera, it typically suggests that the character feels alienated. This positioning creates a visual representation of the character's isolation and disconnection from their surroundings. By deliberately obscuring the character's face, it emphasizes their emotional distance and detachment from others. This technique is often used to evoke a sense of loneliness or estrangement in the character, highlighting their feelings of being isolated or misunderstood.
