Explanation:

A character arc involves a character undergoing a change or development. Option A shows Luiza still afraid and complaining, no change. Option B focuses on Oscar's actions in battle, no character change. Option C: Jenna starts disliking Marisa but after working together, her opinion changes and they become friends—this shows a character arc (change in attitude/relationship). Option D: Julian is taking steps to get a job but no character change is shown.

Answer:

C. Jenna doesn't like Marisa, but when they have to work together, Jenna realizes Marisa is nice and they become friends.
