Read the following excerpt from an original drama.
[Noon. A hospital waiting room painted a tired beige. A TV mounted high plays muted daytime talk; captions scroll too fast to read. A vending machine hums, its spiral coils holding snacks like small cages. The chairs are arranged in rigid rows. PRIYA stands rather than sit, counting the tiles with her eyes.]
PRIYA: (under her breath) Thirty-two. Thirty-three. Thirty-four.
FATHER: Sit down, beta.
PRIYA: If I sit, I'll start feeling like I'm…here.
FATHER: You are here.
[PRIYA walks to the vending machine and presses her forehead lightly to the cold glass.]
PRIYA: Look. Even the chips can't get out unless someone chooses them.
FATHER: (tired) That's not how it works.
PRIYA: (still counting) It feels like it.
Which choice best explains how the hospital waiting room setting develops Priya's character through staging and objects?
