Respuesta :

The way a character is presented and developed 

The option that best describes characterization is D: The way a character is presented and developed. Characterization is understood as a literary device that is used to give details about the characters within a story.  First of all, the characters are introduced and then the reader can start reaching conclusions by considering their behaviour. As the story goes on, the reader can also analyse the characters taking into account how the rest of the characters see them and how they interact with each other.
