One way an author uses direct characterization is by telling the reader about the character through

a. what the character says.
b. what the narrator says.
c. what the character does.
d. what the narrator does.

B. what the narrator says.

Explanation:

Direct characterization happens when the narrator literally speaks the information to the readers. Thus, the narrator determines how the character is, offering a restricted view and allowing a more accurate understanding of it. It is a good way of revealing certain and obvious information, which does not require further analysis by the reader. Direct characterization is perceived through what the narrator says.
