The correct answer is D) "Her husband was continually prying about to detect her secret hoards."

Indirect characterization means that we have to infer what a particular character is like, based on their behavior or thoughts. The author just implies things about their character, and we have to deduce what they are actually like. On the other hand, direct characterization is when the author explicitly tells us what a certain character is like, which is the case in A, B, and C.

Vikentia [17]
Honestly you should be looking for all of the above, if you are going to correctly give someone feedback, but I think the answer may be, B, just because good grammar is very important. I don't believe this is a very good question though, just because all of the answers are important to look over when proofreading someone's paper.
