Answer:

D)

third person omniscient​

Step-by-step explanation:

The Odyssey (believed to be composed near the end of the 8th century BC) is second oldest extant work of Western Literature written most probably by Homer.

The narrator of the poem speaks in third person omniscient throughout the poem including Book 1, except book 9-12. In these books (9-12) Odysseus himself narrates the events in first person.

The third person narrator is omniscient and not objective or limited since he knows and frequently narrates the thoughts and feelings of all characters, whether they are gods, warriors or kings.
