Answer:

O Indirect characterization, because it is showing Della's pride in her long hair.

Explanation:

O. Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi," tells the story of a young impoverished couple who sacrificed their most prized possessions and needs to make the other's Christmas special. And in the process of making the other happy, their acts of kindness and humility for each other is what made them similar to the Magi who visited Jesus Christ when he was born.

The given excerpt from the story is an example of indirect characterization. Indirect characterization is when the personality and other features of the characters are revealed through the description of their appearance, speech, and actions. In the given excerpt, the<u> indirect characterization shows Della's pride in her long hair. </u> Through the mentioning of how Della <em>"would have let her hair hang out the window"</em> in a move to depreciate the <em>"Queen of Sheba[ and her] jewels and gifts"</em>.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
