The fourth option.

A monologue is a sustained, often dramatic speech in which a character reveals thoughts, feelings or intentions to the audience and/or other characters. It advances character development, theme and sometimes plot, and can build emotionally toward a climax. (By contrast, a soliloquy or internal monologue specifically conveys private thoughts not meant for other characters.)
