Which statement from the passage most clearly establishes characterization for Unferth?

Answer:

C. [T]he journey of Beowulf, / the brave seafarer, caused him chagrin.

Characterization is a description of character, traits, etc.

Chagrin is a feeling of annoyance.

So this line describes some traits of Unferth's character. He is jealous of Beowulf; that's why Unferth is annoyed to hear about Beowulf's heroic deeds. In a way, he feels inferior to Beowulf.
