Hi, There! the Correct Answer Is Below :)

B. tells the story either as character in the story or as someone observing from outside the story

Explanation:

A narrator is the person telling the story, and it determines the point of view that the audience will experience. Every work of fiction has one! The narrator can take many forms—it may be a character inside the story (like the protagonist) telling it from his own point of view.
