You can determine a story’s point of view when reading fiction by noting from whose vantage point the story is being told. Option C is correct.

In a story you may find differents points of view such as: first person point of view, second person point of view and third point of view.

First person is used when the main character is telling the story.

Second person point of view is generally only used in instructional writing. It is told from the perspective of "you".

Third person point of view is implemented when your narrator is not a character in the story. Third person uses the "he/she/it" narrator
