According to Gerard Genette, which of the following are types of narrators?
[A] Extradiegetic
[B] Heterodiegetic
[C] Intradiegetic
[D] Homodiegetic
[E] Intradiegetic
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is B and D only.

In narrative theory, Gerard Genette introduces a systematic classification of narrators based on their relationship to the story they tell. This classification is primarily organized around two distinct criteria: narrative level (where the narrator is situated relative to the story events) and relationship to the story (whether the narrator is a character in the story or not).

Genette defines the narrator's relation to the story using the following two categories:
1. Heterodiegetic Narrator (Option [B]): A narrator who is absent from the story they tell (i.e., not a character in the narrative, often referred to as a third-person narrator).
2. Homodiegetic Narrator (Option [D]): A narrator who is present as a character in the story they tell (i.e., a first-person narrator, who can be either the protagonist or a secondary character/observer).

While terms like extradiegetic (Option [A]) and intradiegetic (Options [C] and [E]) also belong to Genette's narratology, they refer to the narrative levels (extradiegetic indicating a narrator at the first level of narration, outside the primary diegesis; intradiegetic indicating a narrator at the second level, telling a story within the story) rather than the narrator types determined by their presence or absence in the story. Therefore, when specifying types of narrators relative to their role in the story events, Heterodiegetic (B) and Homodiegetic (D) are the primary types.
