Answer: B) Observant.

Explanation: characterization is a description of the distinctive nature or features of a character in a narrative. The characterization can be direct (when the character is described through the use of descriptive adjectives, epithets, or phrases) or indirect (when the writer shows the character's personality through speech, actions and appearance). In the given excerpt we can see that Jane is characterized as an observant person, because she describes the details she is seeing in the house.
