Apart from its length, what else makes a short story different from a novel?

A short story can employ first-person point of view; a novel, because of its complexity, cannot.

A short story normally does not have a complicated plot; a novel can have a complicated plot.

A short story does not have the five phases in a plot diagram; only a novel does.

A short story’s characters face many small conflicts; a novel's characters deal only with large conflicts

I got B for the answer because in a short story the timeline isn't long enough to have a complicated plot. I have read many novels that use first person point of view, so A isn't the best choice and neither is C or D. All books have some form of the 5 phase plot diagram and in both novels and short stories the characters can be faced with large or small conflicts.
