The correct answer is A. aside

The term “Aside” is used in drama and theater, and it happens when a character’s dialogue is spoken but not heard by other actors on the stage.

  Asides are useful for giving information about the other characters onstage or the action of the plot.

  The movie titled “Deadpool” is a perfect example of a movie full of ‘asides’
