Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer
( 1) Situational Irony- It's incorrect because situational irony occurs when the factual result of a situation is different( frequently, the complete contrary) from what the followership expects the result to be. still, in this case, it's the followership who knows the result of a situation while the character does n’t. There's no surprising turn for the followership. therefore, there isn't any situational irony.
2) Verbal Irony- It's incorrect because verbal Irony shows a discrepancy between what's said and what's meant. The most egregious thing to notice is that there's no dialogue in the question. No bone is speaking. therefore, there's no verbal irony.
( 3) Dramatic Irony- It's correct because dramatic Irony is frequently set up when the followership is apprehensive of commodity that the character is not. For illustration, the followership watches the villain of the movie to enter the main character’s empty house and hide in a dark room. also the main character walks into the house, not knowing the villain is hiding there. But the followership does. It's ironic because the followership knows further than the character.
