Indirect characterization is by the author. not used implied directly given justified

a)not used
b)implied
c)directly given
d)justified

Indirect characterization is B) implied by the author The underlined option is correct.

The writer creates a character indirectly because the reader will infer the character's characteristics through different devices. These devices can be: the character's actions; the character's reactions; the character's thoughts ; and the character's different conversations. Therefore, these are all clues the reader will  put together to infer what the character is like.

These options are not right:

A)not used ( Whether the author uses it or does not use it ,this decision will not define implicit characterization).

C)directly given ( If it is implicit is not direct but indirect characterization).

D)justified ( The author 's justification of the way a character behaves is not related to implicit characterization. )

i also think the correct answer here would be b.

because each is self-sufficient.
