Explanation:

In literature (a subfield of Arts), setting refers to the place (and time) where a scene occurs. "A Room in POLONIUS' House" directly describes the location of the scene, while the other options involve character actions (entering, exiting, speaking) rather than establishing the setting.

Answer:

A. A Room in POLONIUS' House
