Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Stream of consciousness is a narrative technique that attempts to replicate the continuous, associative, and often illogical flow of a character's thoughts, feelings, and perceptions as they occur, without the organising intervention of the author. Free indirect discourse blends the narrator's voice with a character's thoughts while maintaining grammatical structure. A dramatic monologue is a poem or speech addressed to a listener, and interior soliloquy, while related, is more structured than stream of consciousness.
