Final answer:
The narrator, housekeeper, and caregiver in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights who tells the story to another character is Lockwood. The correct option is c) Lockwood
Step-by-step explanation:
The character in question who serves as a narrator, housekeeper, and caregiver in both Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles (TC) and Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (WH) and tells the story to another character is c) Lockwood. In Wuthering Heights, Lockwood is a tenant at Thrushcross Grange and the recipient of the story from Nelly Dean, the housekeeper who cared for characters in both households.
There is no character fitting this description in Hardy's novel, so the reference to TC may be a mistake. Lockwood's narration is a frame narrative, providing an external viewpoint on the events at Wuthering Heights, with much of the story relayed to him—and us—secondhand by Nelly.
This is what is known as third-person narration. The voice does not belong to a particular character in the novel, and in the extract it does not assume the perspective of any of the characters, merely describing their physical appearance, social status and relationships, and, in Catherine's case, her likes and dislikes, her accomplishments and pastimes.
You will probably have noticed that this extract comprises a single, extremely long paragraph and is mostly concerned with describing the young Catherine Morland. This amount of detail at the start of the novel suggests to us that Catherine is likely to be the central character, and so it proves.
The correct option is c) Lockwood
