The correct answer is C. Because it includes the author’s personal reflections
Explanation:
In writing, a personal narrative refers to a text that describes one or more experiences from the author and therefore explores his/her feelings, perceptions and reflections toward these. Because of this, a personal narrative is commonly based on real-life events, it is written in the first person and shows the perception and point of view of the author. This is the case of the text presented considering the author describes the experience of visiting an aquarium by using the pronoun "I" as in "I never imagined the impact the trip might have on my life" and describing his feelings, perceptions, and reflection about the experience as in "it was the “Careers in Marine Biology” exhibition that offered me a glimpse of my future". Therefore, this text is considered a personal narrative because it includes the author’s personal reflections towards some specific event.
Explanation: The last sentence says, “This fact was somehow mixed and confused with his opinion of his own situation that it seemed almost a proper reason for tears.” This shows that the guy was so sad because his situation was making him overwhelmed and want to cry.
