B
first person
C
limited omniscient
D
objective
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In third-person limited narration, the narrator still exists outside the events of the story, but does not know the motivations or thoughts of all the characters. Rather, one character is the driver of the story, and the reader is given a closer peek into that character’s psyche than the others.

Detailed explanation-2: -Omniscient POV is considered god-like or all-knowing because the narrator has access to all aspects of the story, including each character’s knowledge, thoughts, feelings, actions and backstory.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Option D. The story has been told from the point of view of the narrator and the narrator introduces the characters and mentions the plot of the story.

Detailed explanation-4: -Third Person Omniscient This is writing from the perspective of a narrator, hovering outside the story. The narrator knows everything, but the characters don’t. It’s kind of like God is narrating, or a fly on the wall.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of third-person point of view: omniscient, in which the narrator knows all of the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story, or limited, in which the narrator relates only their own thoughts, feelings, and knowledge about various situations and the other characters.
