The five key elements of a drama, as defined by Aristotle, are:

  1. Plot
  2. Character
  3. Thought (often interpreted as theme or idea)
  4. Diction (language)
  5. Spectacle

Since none of the provided options include "thought" explicitly, but the closest match to Aristotle's elements among the choices, focusing on "plot," "character," "language," and "spectacle," would be the second option: plot, character, tension, language, spectacle.

However, it's important to note that "tension" is not one of Aristotle's original elements, but it can be seen as a component of the dramatic experience within "plot" and "character."
