<span>Indirect characterization is B. implied by the author. It cannot be inferred by the author, because that means understood - this type of characterization can be inferred by the reader, rather than the author. And if characterization is indirect, than it cannot be directly given. D makes no sense, so that would also be an incorrect answer. </span>
