   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Soliloquy

   Meaning: soliloquy = the act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when alone, especially by a character in a play *(स्वगत कथन, आत्मभाषण)*.
   The deciding words are aloud when alone — no listener is present.
   Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" is the most famous soliloquy in English.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • dialogue = a conversation between two or more persons *(संवाद)* — needs at least two speakers.
   • monologue = a long speech by one person to others who are present *(एकालाप)* — one speaker, but an audience.
   • extempore = spoken without preparation *(बिना तैयारी के)* — about preparation, not solitude.
