Explanation:

To determine which sentence describes a novel, we recall the characteristics of a novel: it is longer than a novella, explores multiple stages of life, and can follow a situation's development. The first option matches these traits. The second option describes a shorter work (like a short story), the third is incorrect as novels are longer than novellas, and the fourth is too limited (more typical of a short story or novella segment).

Answer:

A. It is longer than a novella, looks at the many stages of life, and can follow a situation and its development.
