Explanation:

The passage uses third - person pronouns like "she", "he", "her", "him" etc. and doesn't show the all - knowing perspective of omniscient (no access to all characters' thoughts). It focuses on the actions and words of the characters without deep insight into all their inner thoughts, which is characteristic of third - person limited.

Answer:

C. Third - person limited
