Explanation:

To determine the main character, we analyze the story: it focuses on eleven - year - old Sayla, describing her love for her homeland, the wind, sky, and the magic trees. Dearna is a secondary character (a wise person), Sayla's mother isn't mentioned as a central figure, and K.V. has no relevant role in the given text. So the main character is Sayla.

Answer:

A. Sayla
