The third option is correct.
Plays primarily develop theme through dialogue, action, and plot (what characters say and do onstage), plus staging, performance, and sometimes music. Poems, by contrast, typically convey theme through concentrated language — imagery, symbolism, figurative language, tone, diction, and line breaks — rather than extended plot or dialogue.
