not 100% sure but I believe it is B, D, and E.

Explanation:

being a leader is a common trait for a hero

being doomed from the start can be seen as tragic, because no matter what they do, fate has planned them to fail

and the hero suffering having meaning for the audience makes it tragic, because, well if the audience is cheering for someone's downfall, is it really tragic at all?
