Final answer:

The passage uses the first person point of view, as the narrator refers to themselves using the pronoun "I".

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of view used in the passage "Witnessing the kidnapping of Betty Ann Mulvaney, I exclaimed, 'Kurt, what are you doing?' Kurt dismissively responded, 'Relax, Jen. It’s a joke, okay?'" is first person. This is evident because the narrator is part of the story and uses the pronoun "I" when narrating their experiences. The options presented were a mix of various third person perspectives and first person; however, none of the third person perspectives are appropriate since the narrator is clearly participating in the events described and relating them through their own eyes using "I".
