"D" <em>make an inference</em>
When there are gaps of information, you usually want to look at the text and the information given to make an inference of what you think the author might mean/ what information needs to be in the context to make the text understandable. The author is trying to get you to make inferences and think for yourself.

C. Uncle John was one of the people in charge of the family.
Explanation:
Direct characterization is a literary device consisting of making direct statements about a character's personality, interests, motif, or physical appearance instead of revealing their traits through indirect means such as dialogue and description of behavior.
Unlike the other options, Option C indicates a true direct characterization about Uncle John (Option A, B and D make false statements about John): The author tells us that John is one of the natural rulers of the family, and one of the heads of the family, so “he had to govern.”
I think it might be called a phrase.
