Answer:

I think its C) the author is sharing background information

Step-by-step explanation:

Third-Person point of view is when you describe a story with the points of view of more than one person not just one; a. wouldn't match this, b. wouldn't really match either, and d. ending a story doesn't matter that's not a point of view. therefore, C. is the most accurate
