A
stand-up routines or scripted plays
B
those of stand-up routines and scripted plays
C

Choice B is incorrect because "those" (plural) has no clear antecedent. Choice C is incorrect because it compares "comedy" to a "structure." Choice D is incorrect because it compares "comedy" to a clause describing performance.
