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

B. Plot, character, settings, imagery.

However, it's worth noting that the closest traditional classification according to Aristotle's Poetics includes:

  1. Plot (mythos)
  2. Character (ethos)
  3. Thought (dianoia)
  4. Diction (lexis)
  5. Spectacle (opsis)

From your options, none perfectly matches Aristotle's categories, but choice B comes closest by including plot and character.
