Answer:

C. He refers to himself in the third person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elie Wiesel's autobiographical memoir "Night" recounts the details and horrors that he along with the Jews had to suffer during the Holocaust that killed millions and millions of people. This historical memoir gave the very piece of first hand witness account of the Nazi regime against the whole of the Jewish race.

By addressing/referring to himself in the third person, Elie presents his ideas through the eyes and feelings of a young boy. These sentences from the question are from his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, where he recounts the situation, but as a young boy, separate from his own self.
