Answer:
a) Theatrical play
Step-by-step explanation:
"The one that says the lady must entertain the gentleman--or no dice" is a reference to a concept or plot point in a theatrical play. It suggests a situation or rule within the context of a play where a lady is expected to entertain a gentleman for some reason, and the outcome may have consequences ("no dice" implies that things won't go well if the lady doesn't entertain the gentleman).
