Answer:

B. With a description of the setting

Step-by-step explanation:

John Steinbeck narrates his short story "The Chrysanthemums" through the use of a third person narration. The story begins with the narrator's description of the setting of the story, describing the Salinas Valley, California and the it's surroundings being covered by the fog, "there was no sunshine in the valley now in December. The thick willow scrub along the river flamed with sharp and positive yellow leaves".
