I have to say, I'd struggle with this. I have this tendency to write big stories and within them I will usually feature at least 4 or 5 of those options. My shorts will tend to usually be romance or comedy or smut (or a mixture thereof) so this would be hard for me to answer (since I write what I like). I often show romance through comedy or adventure, for example... and rarely just embrace 'it's a romance' or whatever.
I'd guess that would be similar for other writers? Right? (I have no idea, I don't read enough which is why I have to look to what I write to try to answer!)
So, my votes actually aren't for romance. I don't - personally - need to indulge in that if I can get to the love and the 'romantic elements' through other story elements. Hey, it's the girls, the love is always there but even for them I think a massively long, multi-part romance with nothing else would bore the pants of me (not literally!)
An associated question that would - at least from me - produce clearer results would be a slightly different use of 'genre' such as (and I am not expert enough to get these all right) - Cross over/AU/Missing Scenes/PWP etc etc
