If this changes anybody's vote, please comment
To be honest I think the distinction here with these two options is becoming somewhat more muddied with this change, rather than clearer.

Character dialogue and interaction is an intrinsic part of conveying most stories/plots (without them all you have is a bunch of scenery and inanimate objects waiting around for someone to come along and do something, which is generally considered to be 'the story', and the quality of the dialogue is part of the quality of writing, so...

Anyway, this doesn't change my vote - it's still story/plot #1, but I'm definitely including the characters and their dialogue as part of that, for my own definition, and I suspect many others will too.
