To determine the point of view used by the narrator, you can analyze the pronouns used in the paragraph. In this case, the narrator uses "I" and "we" to refer to themselves and the person they are with, indicating that the narrator is a participant in the events and is telling the story from their own perspective. This corresponds to the first-person point of view. Therefore, option C, first-person, is the correct answer.
