Solution

The correct option is C Telling a story in a way that both directs attention to the incongruities among the points of view of several characters and hints that the plot has a significance other than that suggested by its mere events.

Option C. Look at the last line of the passage. The author basically talks about two things regarding the narrating style.

1.) Emphasis on dissimilarities (incongruities) between different perspectives (points of view) on the same events held by different characters.

2.)Relationship between what is explicitly stated ( surface drama) and the author’s concealed intention.

Out of the given options, these points are best captured in C.
