Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions.  If we look at all of the possible answers for this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine characteristics.  One, however, blatantly speaks of how old a person is.  With the words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct characterization.
