The correct answer is C. Kiana peered at her watch. It had been four hours since she and Albert had started hiking the trail, but their destination had not yet appeared. What if they were lost? She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry.
Explanation:
Excerpt C is the only one that describes the actions of a story by using third-person pronouns such as "she" or "they", which is the main feature in the third-person point of view. This is exemplified in "Kiana peered at her watch" or "She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry". Moreover, the general narrating style shows the narrator is mainly an observer rather than a participant in the story, which is common in this point of view. Moreover, other excerps use the pronoun "I" and this is only used if the text is written in the first-person point of view rather than the third-person point of view.

Answer: The answer should be these two parts. "...I had to arm wrestle with him for it." and "Then I tied all his arms and legs in knots."
Explanation: These are hyperboles because they are exaggerative. Most likely the person did not arm wrestle with an octopus. Although that would be funny to watch, life is not a Disney movie. Then again if anything he fought the octopus to get away but did not literally tie his arms and legs in knots. The character is exaggerating in order to make himself seem even braver and more courageous than he actually is.
