The statement which best describes Hopping's viewpoint and purpose in this excerpt is the following one:

The author views Diane as a clever scientist and includes this excerpt to inform readers about Diane's sharp reasoning skills.

Lorraine Jean Hopping wants the reader to be impressed by the acuteness of Diane France's reasoning skills. Diane, a forensic anthropologist, is often at crime scenes or sites where tragedies took place in order to find out the unexplained reasons for what happened. She is very clever and also very "close" to the skeletons she runs into along the way. Hence the way she refers to them: "This <em>guy</em> smoked a pipe." In the aforementioned excerpt, the author wants to show the reader how strong this bond is by mentioning an occasion in which Diane Frances knew in detail about a deceased person's smoking habits just by looking at the teeth in their skull.
