The author is using B. INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION.
Indirect Characterization refers to what the character says or does. In the above passage, the author wrote what the character does. We, as the readers, only infer what the character is all about because we cannot read his mind or "get inside his head".
Direct Characterization refers to what the narrator directly says or thinks about the character. The reader is told what the character is like.
While Michel Guillaume Jean de Crèvecoeur does not think America is perfect, in his 1792 Letters from an American Farmer he finds many more praiseworthy things about America than about his native Europe.
In the third letter, entitled "What is an American?"
he imagines what it would be like for an Englishman to come to America
for the first time.
The first comparison he makes is who is allowed to own land. America is comprised of
<span>
fair cities, substantial villages, extensive fields, an immense
country filled with decent houses, good roads, orchards, meadows, and
bridges, where an hundred years ago all was wild, woody and
uncultivated.... It is not composed, as in Europe, of great lords who
possess every thing and of a herd of people who have nothing.

This is a not-so-veiled condemnation of England which deprives common people of the right to own land.
I hope this helps you.
