The correct answer is A. In this case, the narrator professes his own highly subjective perspective. If he is the only one who can see Carly, it seems that Carly is an imagined figure, so it is a clue to the narrator's unreliability. It should make the reader suspicious of the narrative. Unreliable narrators often tell their story in first person.
