What does a protagonist do in a story?

Serves as the antagonist.
Serves as the narrator.
Drives the action and forms the main conflict.
Encourages the other characters.

The correct answer is: Drives the action and forms the main conflict.

A protagonist is the central character of a story who is faced with challenges and drives the action forward. They are not to be confused with the antagonist who opposes the protagonist and creates conflict. While the protagonist can also be the narrator, it is not their sole purpose. Additionally, their role is not to simply encourage other characters, but rather to play a key role in the story's main conflict and drive the plot forward. Therefore, option C is the best answer.
