Hey there

This excerpt has been taken from “A Farewell to Arms”, a novel written by Ernest Hemingway and published in 1929

When the narrator said the statement "Manera lit his lighter and passed it around. The lighter was shaped like a Fiat radiator. I told them what I had heard." then he develops the narrator through character narrative; therefore, the correct answer would be letter C. character narrative.

By using this technique, Hemingway is able to tell his story from the main character’s point of view, and to share with the readers the character’s feelings and thoughts

Direct and Indirect characterization are not the correct options in this excerpt because, in both techniques, the author is the narrator of the story and they tell the story from another point of view, different from the main character's point of view.  

Hope this helps
