The correct answer is option C.
In order to make inferences about a character, the reader resort to the "clues from the character's actions, interactions and words".
As the story unfolds, the reader takes information from the characters' actions in order to understand her or his feelings, thoughts, and ways to behaving.
For example, feelings such as love, passion, envy, jealousy, or competition, may lead a character to kill a person or to cheat on his wife, etc.
