Explanation:

In the passage, the narrator uses "he" to refer to Hendricks, which is characteristic of third - person limited point of view. Third - person limited focuses on one character's thoughts and experiences. Here, the focus is on Hendricks' actions (walking, the tension with the claws) and the description is from an outside observer who is mainly concerned with Hendricks. First - person uses "I", second - person uses "you", and third - person omniscient would have access to multiple characters' thoughts.

Answer:

C. Third person limited
