Answer:

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.”
