Answer:

B. Through the writer's statements about the character

Explanation:

Direct characterization is the easiet way for the author to reveal the character's traits. As the term suggests, direct characterization is a method of describing the character in a direct, straightforward manner.

For example, this is how Robert Louis Stevenson uses direct characterization to describe his character Mr. Utterson in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde :

"Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable."

"He was austere with himself..."

Direct characterization is also called explicit characterization because it conveys the essence of a character in a clear and open manner.
