Explanation:

A round character is complex, with depth and development, often having multiple traits and motivations. Option A (Captain Brewster) is hot - tempered and one - dimensional. Option C (Detective Spalding) is a no - nonsense investigator with a single - minded trait. Option D (Tia Gutierrez) is fair - minded and has a single defining trait. Option B (Manny Winters) has a personal motivation (winning parents' approval) along with his role as a journalist trying to crack the case, showing more complexity and depth, making him a round character.
