The description that is an example of direct characterization is C. Valerie's petite frame was the complete opposite of her larger-than-life personality.

Direct characterization is a literary device used by an author to describe the characters traits. The author, specifically describes the character with adjectives. He tells the reader, in a straight forward manner, what the character feels, fears or hopes. It is different from indirect characterization because in this one the author suggests the character's traits through dialogues or actions.

The correct option is C) “Valerie's petite frame was the complete opposite of her larger-than-life personality.” Direct characterization is a literary device in which the author describes the personality and physical traits of a character by using adjectives or phrases in a direct way.  

In the example C, the author directly indicates the character physical trait (petite frame) and compares it to her personality (larger-than-life personality).

The other options do not describe directly the personality or physical characteristics of characters.
