To establish credibility, an author can use various techniques. By providing a firsthand perspective as a witness to an event, the author makes the account seem more real and trustworthy. Describing a man on the platform (Option A) may just be a descriptive element and not necessarily establish credibility. Using a phrase to describe distances (Option C) also does not directly contribute to establishing the author's credibility like being a firsthand - witness does.
