I believe the answer is D. the reason is because, in a comedy, the audience is laughing at something the actors intend to do depending on the situation, it may usually be a comedy that is sad but still its funny, meanwhile In a tragedy, the story is usually about heartbreak and pain, its very serious, and the audience will usually be quiet, and focused on the situation of the tragedy that occurs in a role.
