Settings
Symbols
Characters
Plot

The correct answer is: Characters

Generally, characters have the lead role in a work. They are the main focus of the story and their actions and decisions drive the plot forward. Settings are the physical and social environment in which the story takes place, but they do not typically have a lead role. Symbols are objects, actions, or events that represent a larger idea or theme in the story, but they are not the main focus. Plot is the sequence of events in a story, but it is not the lead role. Therefore, the best answer is C Characters.
