Answer: The right answer is the B) Limited Omniscient.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the narrator, who is not one of the characters in the story (so option D should be unhesitatingly discarded), is telling the story from the viewpoint of Jessica, who is one of the characters — note that he or she uses third-person pronouns such as "she" and "her." Thanks to the narrator, we know what she is doing, thinking, seeing, and feeling. That is why we say that the point of view is omniscent (from the Latin omnis, "everything" and sciens, -entis, "who knows"). However, the narrator is only seeing into Jessica's mind, not into the minds of all the characters, and, for that reason, his or her point of view is limited. Since the narrator can see into Jessica's mind, and not only describe what she does, his or her point of view is not objective, so option A should also be discarded.
