What is considered to be the most important driver of a work's plot?

  1. Theme

  2. Point of View

  3. Conflict

  4. Setting

The correct answer is: Conflict

Conflict is considered to be the most important driver of a work's plot because it creates tension and drives the story forward. While theme and setting can provide important context and contribute to the overall tone and message of a story, they are not typically the primary driving force of the plot. Point of view, while important in shaping the perspective of the story, does not necessarily drive the plot forward either. Therefore, C is the best answer out of the given choices.
