Explanation:

To determine the point of view, we analyze the passage:

• First - person point of view uses pronouns like "I" or "we". The passage does not use these.
• Second - person point of view uses the pronoun "you". The passage does not use "you".
• Third - person point of view uses pronouns like "he", "she", "they" or refers to characters by their names. In the passage, we have "José Arcadio Buendía", "the children", "Aureliano" and the use of "he" to refer to characters, which is characteristic of third - person narration.

Answer:

third person
