Answer:

The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Characterization refers to how the characters in a story are represented by telling or showing a certain feature or description of their personalities or characteristics. There are mainly two types of characterization: direct and indirect.

Direct Characterization- the writer tells the character's personality by mentioning direct statements. For example: "She was a brilliant girl." In this case, he is directly telling the reader.

Indirect Characterization- the writer shows the character's personality by cumulative details. Examples of this are the thoughts of the character, or the way she dresses.

Among the choices above, it is only letter D which shows indirect characterization. The statement shows what the character thinks about working in the farm, according to what he declared.

This seems most accurate. He didn't really have a lower-class upbringing (to my knowledge) and he didn't entirely befriend lower-class individuals. He did spend quite a bit of time in prison where he wrote anonymous writings.
