Answer: an author’s description of and specific details about a character.

Explanation: Direct characterization is when the narrator or author plainly tells the reader what a character is like. The other choices describe indirect characterization (a character’s own words/thoughts/actions; other characters’ words/thoughts/actions) or the author’s outlook/opinion (which is different).
