Answer 2

The correct answer is D. The chorus comments on the action of the play and clarifies the situation to the audience.
A is incorrect because the chorus isn't one of the characters in the play - other characters cannot see them because the chorus exists only for the readers/watchers of the play. B is incorrect for the same reason. C is incorrect because the opposite is true - the chorus is there to help the audience understand what is going on in the play.
