Correct Answer
B. 3rd personExplanation
The correct answer is 3rd person. In a story, the narrator refers to the person who tells the story. In the case of the 3rd person, the narrator is an outsider who is not a character in the story. They use pronouns like "he," "she," or "they" to refer to the characters and provide an objective perspective on the events. This means that the narrator has knowledge of the thoughts and actions of all the characters in the story.Rate this question:
