It relates events in the exact order in which they occurred.

It includes multiple flashbacks about a variety of events.
C
It contains a narrative that is told within another narrative.
D
It recounts the narrator’s reflections of past experiences.

Explanation

“Ambush” begins with the narrator speaking in the present about his daughter’s question, then shifts into his account of the wartime ambush. That past episode is a narrative told within the framing conversation, so the best description is “a narrative that is told within another narrative.”
