first person
second person
third person limited
third person omniscient

Explanation:

The passage uses third-person pronouns (he, his) and reveals the internal thoughts/feelings of multiple characters: José Arcadio Buendía's certainty, the children's startled reaction, and Aureliano's future memory. This matches the definition of third person omniscient, where the narrator knows the perspectives of multiple characters.

Answer:

third person omniscient
