The best option that identifies the psychic distance in the sentence "Once upon a time there lived a humble miller" is:

A. The psychic distance is large because the reader does not have access to the characters' thoughts.

This is because the sentence introduces the character without providing insight into the miller's thoughts or feelings, creating a sense of distance between the reader and the character.
