Which story element most clearly shows direct characterization? A. The words a character says B. A character's private thoughts and feelings while alone C. The choices a character makes to solve problems D. One character's description of another character's personality

D. One character's description of another character's personality

Characterization is when readers are directly told about the characteristics/personality of a character I the story. Indirect characterization is where readers are left to deduce a character’s personality based upon actions. For instance, if we read how a character destroys public property for fun, readers could deduce how the character is antisocial. However, if readers are blatantly told that a character is antisocial, then this is an example of direct characterization. As such, "D" is the best response.
