Answer:

O A. Could you tell me a little more about how you became a mime?

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the word "clarify" is used when more information about an already existing topic is needed or wanted. This means that extra detail is needed to clear any confusion or query.

So, a clarification question is one where an interviewer asked the interviewee 'extra' questions about an already discussed topic. This means that when the interviewer asked questions such as "Could you tell me more about how you became a mime?" he/ she is asking for more information from the other person. This is done to get more clarity on who the person is, or to get more information on how the person came to be. A clarification question is just asking an extra question, and not about asking for any new information.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
