The correct answer is B. A major character plays a big role in the plot, while a minor character has a less important storyline.
Explanation:
In literature, a character refers to any person or even animal or entity that is part of a story in novels, short stories, and other narratives. Additionally, characters can be classified according to their role in the development of the plot and their features; in general terms, characters can be major or minor. Major characters are three-dimensional characters or complex ones including the protagonist of the story and other characters important character in which the story focus and who play an important role as their actions developed the plot. On the other hand, minor characters are only defined through a few features and mainly support the actions of major characters or serve as background or scenario in the story. This means, opposite to major characters minor characters do not have an important necessary role in the plot or story. Thus, the main difference between major a minor characters is that major characters play a big role in the plot as their actions developed it and they are the focus of the story, while minor characters have a less important storyline as they just support the actions in the story but do not develop the plot or change during it.

First sentence is the beginning of the story as shown by the traditional starting phrase <em>"A long time ago"</em>
The second sentence tells us what happened to the darkness (given a command by God). It is also important to note the use of article "<em>the"</em> before "darkness", since it has been mentioned before.
The third sentence tells us what happened as the result of the command. (Note the use of article "a" before sphere).
The fourth sentence tells more about the sphere and uses "the" before "sphere". It also mentions God.
The fifth sentence tells about the bright light (light of God).
The sixth sentence introduces animal using article "an".
The seventh sentence tells us what the animal did (use of "the" before "animal").
