C
Georgia is patient and methodical when she practices guitar.
D
V. J. was enjoying his book, so he ignored the texts from his friends.

Explanation

Direct characterization explicitly tells the reader what a character is like. Choice C directly describes Georgia as “patient and methodical.” The other choices show characters’ actions or reactions, leaving the reader to infer their traits; that is indirect characterization.
