The correct option is C) “Valerie's petite frame was the complete opposite of her larger-than-life personality.” Direct characterization is a literary device in which the author describes the personality and physical traits of a character by using adjectives or phrases in a direct way.
In the example C, the author directly indicates the character physical trait (petite frame) and compares it to her personality (larger-than-life personality).
The other options do not describe directly the personality or physical characteristics of characters.

My two characters are Romeo and Tybalt.
Romeo and Juliet get married, but soon after doing so, it gets complicated because of the long-standing fight between the Capulets and Montagues.

This portrays Man vs. Man because now, there is conflict between Romeo and Tybalt, because Romeo wants revenge for Tybalt killing Mercutio.
