The answer is A.

In the context provided, the sentence indicates that among all the author's works, this particular play stands out as the one most reliant on the dramatic conventions of the author's time. By using the phrase "least _____ of her plays," the sentence implies that this play was not as innovative or inventive as her other works. Hence, the word "experimental" is fitting in this context.

this play is the most dependent on the dramatic conventions

Conventions in this context mean regular or standard. Normal


it was both the least _____ of her plays and the most commercially successful.

The least+standard= the most normal we can think about. And because the work is the LEAST AND at the same time normal or that adheres to the standard, therefore, the work itself was the LEAST experimental and the most commercial.

I hope now is more clear
