Our of all the given choices, the correct answer to the question “What is a story written to be performed by actors?” is letter B or drama. Letter A, C and D are incorrect because they do not refer to the story, rather what’s included in the story itself – setting is where the story takes place, genre is the form of the story and plot is where the story revolves around.
Drama comes from the Greek word which is translated to “action” in English and can either be comedy or tragedy. The history of drama can be traced back in classical Greece wherein Athens produced dramas which can either be comedy, tragedy or satyr or tragicomedy (a combination of tragedy or comedy).
