Explanation:

The passage uses third - person pronouns like "he" (referring to Oscar and Theophilus). It focuses on Oscar's thoughts ("Oscar's heart raced. He thought himself discovered") but not others' thoughts in the same scene, which is characteristic of third - person limited. There are no first - person ("I") or second - person ("you") pronouns.

Answer:

C. third person limited
