The correct answer is C. a story that features itself as a character. Metafiction is a narrative technique in which the work self-consciously calls attention to itself as a work of fiction.

Some metafiction common techniques are:

  • addressing the reader
  • a story within a story
  • a story about someone reading or writing a book
  • characters that are aware that they are taking part in a story
  • commenting on the story while telling it, either in footnotes or within the text
  • a story with a narrator that exposes himself as both a character and the narrator
