The correct answer is D. The third-person point of view is the voice of an omniscient observer.

Explanation:

In literary works, including novels such as The Awakening, the third-person point of view occurs in the case the narrator uses the third-person pronouns "she", "he", "it", "they" to describe all elements in the story rather than the pronouns "I" or "you". Besides this, a third-person point of view occurs if there is an external observer who can be limited which means the narrator only describes observable events or omniscient if it describes the characters' thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc.

In the case of the excerpt presented the point of view is third-person this can be seen in "She herself was almost devoid of coquetry" or in " Madame coquetted [flirted] with him" that use third-person pronouns, also in this case the narrator is omniscient as it refers to the feeling of characters as in "Edna marveled, not comprehending". According to this, the point of view can be described as "The third-person point of view is the voice of an omniscient observer".
