Chronologically
Usually in informational writings about the past they are written in chronological order leading up to the end so you know the order of how it occured. Sorry if I'm wrong

The correct answer is A. Subjective narrator.
When a narrator is subjective, this one expresses or adopts the point of view of a specific character in the story. He usually knows what the character feels or think, but not what the other characters maybe thinking or doing. He has a limited vision of what is occurring in the story.
