Answer: B) Characterization.

Explanation: characterization is the process in which an author introduces and then describes a character. The character can be described directly by the author or indirectly through the actions, thoughts, and speech of the character. In the given quote from "The Legend of Carman" we can see an example of characterization, because Carman is described as a wonder, a battle-tested beauty with magic powers.
