A) The way an author presents a character to readers

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device referring to the way an author of a story represents a character to his readers. Throughout the story, we get to know various details about its characters.

The beginning of the process of characterization is the introduction of the character. We find out about his appearance, behavior, and thought-process. Then, the character begins interacting with other characters and expressing his opinions and ideas. The final stage of characterization includes the way others from the story react to the character and his personality.

There are two different approaches to characterization:

Direct (explicit) characterization - the narrator, protagonist or another character tells about the character and his traits.Indirect (implicit) characterization - this is a more subtle approach. The audience finds out more about the character by observing his appearance, behavior, thought process, speech, the way he communicates with other characters, and the reaction of other characters to him.

The correct answer is option C) the set of personality traits that describe a fictional character.

Explanation:

Characterization is the way in which the author presents step by step and in detail the personality traits that the character has.

The author presents the way in which the character acts, his thoughts, his ideas, his opinions and the way he interacts with the rest of the characters.

There are two types of characterization:

Direct or explicit characterization: The author tells the audience directly what the character's personality is. To do this, he uses another character, the narrator or the character himself. Indirect or implicit characterization: The audience is responsible for perceiving and interpreting what the personality of the character is based on the characteristics it has had so far.
