How does Washington Irving’s use of the third-person omniscient narrator in "Rip Van Winkle" affect the meaning and development of the story?

Choice A and C is out instantly- the topic is already clear (having growth epxeriences) and the sentence 3 is boring doesn't make much an improvement (in my opinion).

I chose B over D because you don't really have to know the film name. Adding details of a future goal in sentence 2 can tell us how the growth experience helped with the goal.
