4. Every morning, rain or shine, Levi hit the trail and ran exactly nine and a quarter miles.

Indirect characterization is the method by which a character is presented or described in such a way that it is not confined to the character directly but by the use of factors or elements that shows his / her personality. These elements may be his feelings, actions, speech, or appearance.

Among the given sentences, the sentence with indirect characterization is the fourth sentence which describes Levi's character. Levi runs exactly nine and a quarter miles every morning, whatever the weather. It shows his nature of being someone who does things whatever the situation may be and stick to his schedule.

Thus, the correct answer is option 4.
