Answer:

D Della sells her hair and receives hair combs as a gift. Jim sells his watch and receives a watch fob as a gift.

Explanation:

Irony refers to something that signifies the opposite that one intends. As a result, in "The Gift of the Magi," the irony is in the fact that neither Della nor Jim will be able to take pleasure in using each other's gifts, since Della sells her hair to buy a watch chain for her husband and Jim sells his watch to buy her hair combs.
