Which sentence correctly uses the present simple tense as a historic present to narrate a past event more vividly?

Explanation

The historic, or narrative, present tense uses present simple verbs to describe past events, often to make storytelling feel more vivid, immediate, and dramatic, as in ‘So the hero enters the room and sees the villain.’ This technique is commonly used in jokes, anecdotes, and dramatic retellings, even though the events being described technically happened in the past.
