Answer 2

Answer:

A. have other characters discuss him of her.

Explanation:

Having characters speaking about the main one does move forward the protagonist's arc, since it does not add a relevant layer to his/her actions, reactions, thus, avoiding any possibility of development.

It must be done through him/herself in a variety of ways:

• Have the character speak, behave, think, interact, or respond according to particular situations, which adds layers to his/her personality.
• Add a realistic background which increases the character's relatability.
• Add both flaws and virtues, contradictions and desires, which creates character's complexity .
• Add conflict to the character's storyline, which creates obstacles to achieve his/her goals.
