"This can't be happening," thought Jim as he barrelled down the field, the ball tucked under his arm and the endzone a mere five yards away. "Just a month ago I was the waterboy, dreaming of a chance to play and now this?!?!" Jim's thoughts raced through his head silently, almost unconsciously, as he dove over the line to the sound of roaring applause. As his teammates mobbed him, slapping his helmet and yelling congratulations, he thought once more, "This just can't be happening..." How does the inner dialogue of Jim's thoughts develop his character?

A) It makes him more complex, balancing his outward success with inner doubt.
B) It makes him less interesting, as it does not tell about his physical appearance
C) It makes his character sinister, planting the seeds of deceit in the reader's mind.
D) The inner dialogue does not affect the characterization of Jim at all, as it has bearing on the story.
