the setting, the characters’ actions, and the characters’ expressions

Explanation

Stage directions provide information about how a play should be performed, such as where and when a scene takes place and what characters do or express. Therefore, the correct choice is “the setting, the characters’ actions, and the characters’ expressions.” The speakers and their dialogue are usually shown separately in the script.
