Answer:

Omniscient narrator

Step-by-step explanation:

An omniscient (all-seeing) narrator is a narrator who knows all the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in a story, and about all the events that take place.

A limited narrator, unlike the omniscient one, doesn't know absolutely everything and has access to a limited amount of information regarding other character's thoughts and feelings, and events.

An unreliable narrator is a narrator who tells a story with a lack of credibility. This type of narration allows us to come to our own conclusions in order to fill the gaps. These narrators can lie to the readers on purpose, unconsciously alter the truth, or simply lack information.

Reliable narrators are the opposite - they are accurate and impartial, providing us with the correct information.
