Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • First - person protagonist uses "I/me/my" (not present here).
  • Second - person uses "you/your" (not present here).
  • First - person observer also uses "I" (not present here).
  • Third - person omniscient: The narrator knows the thoughts and actions of all characters (Dorothy's hunger, Toto's actions). The use of "she" (for Dorothy) and description of multiple characters' actions (Dorothy getting bread, Toto barking) without using first - person pronouns indicates this point of view.

Answer:

B. third - person omniscient
