The correct answer is:
**b. presenting biased or limited information**
An unreliable narrator often distorts reality or provides a skewed perspective due to personal biases, limited knowledge, or intentional deception. While using first-person pronouns (a) and addressing the reader directly (d) are characteristics of narrative style, they don't inherently make a narrator unreliable. Knowing multiple characters' thoughts at once (c) is characteristic of a third-person omniscient narrator, which typically suggests reliability rather than unreliability.
