Citizen Kane boasts which one of the following narrative structures?

A) a clear three-act narrative structure
B) a nonlinear flashback structure
C) a cause-and-effect-driven narrative
D) a classical Hollywood narrative structure

Citizen Kane is known for its nonlinear flashback structure, which tells the story of Charles Foster Kane's life through a series of non-chronological flashbacks from the perspectives of multiple characters. The film does not adhere to a clear three-act structure, and while it does have cause-and-effect elements, it is not driven solely by a traditional cause-and-effect narrative. While it was made during the era of Classical Hollywood cinema, it is not a strictly classical Hollywood narrative.
