Answer:

D: The setting, the characters' actions, and the characters' expressions

Step-by-step explanation:

Stage directions are quite literally directions for the actors from the playwright; these stage directions are usually italicized and in brackets and show the actors what to act out, how to say certain lines, and what the setting of the play is supposed to be.
