How does the choice of a narrator, persona, or speaker affect the tone of a text?

A narrator, persona, or speaker shapes how readers hear and interpret the text, which affects their perception of its tone. For example, a sarcastic speaker can make words that seem positive carry a mocking tone. The choice does not determine the tone’s point of view, so D, “The choice determines how the audience perceives a given tone,” is best.
