D it gives o henry a way to keep hey information about both main characters hidden until the end

Explanation:

<em>After Twenty Years </em>is a short story written by O. Henry in which he talks about how divergent the paths of two good friends take after they lose touch for twenty years. The two friends, however, agree to meet at a restaurant that night after all those long years.
