The answer to the question is: C. hero

The protagonist in a literary work is the main character or leading figure, often considered the hero or heroine of the story. The protagonist is typically the character with whom the audience identifies and whose journey forms the central focus of the narrative. While the term “hero” is often associated with the protagonist, it’s important to note that not all protagonists are heroic in nature. In some cases, the protagonist may be an anti-hero or a morally ambiguous character.
