What term is used to describe a story told from the perspective of one character?

Personification.
Allegory.
Narrative.
Unreliable narrator.

The correct answer is: Narrative.

A narrative is used to describe a story told from the perspective of one character. Personification and allegory are literary devices used to add figurative or symbolic meaning to a story, rather than being terms used to describe the perspective of a story. Unreliable narrator, while related to perspective, refers specifically to a narrator whose credibility or truthfulness is called into question by the reader. Therefore, C is the best answer as it specifically refers to the telling of a story from a single character's point of view.
