a. when the camera moves between two different speakers
b. when a character’s words are spoken over a scene or series of images
c. when a character’s words are spoken directly into the camera
d. when the camera’s angles mimic the sound of the speaker’s voice

Explanation:

A voice - over in screenwriting is defined as a character's dialogue that is played while a scene or a sequence of images is being shown. Option A describes camera movement between speakers (a different technique, maybe shot - reverse - shot), Option C is a direct address to the camera (like a monologue to the audience), and Option D is an incorrect description of camera angles related to sound. So the correct answer is B.

Answer:

B. When a character’s words are spoken over a scene or series of images
