I believe the correct answer is: Because Ismene was
actually afraid to help Antigone.
As a figure of speech, irony primary represent the use of one's
language that normally signifies the opposite. But, it can also represent the
state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to our
expectations.
Therefore, in this case of Sophocle’s play “Antigone”,
Ismene denies the help to Antigone to bury their brother, Polyneces, because
she is afraid to help. But, never the less, Ismene is imprisoned by Creon,
alongside Antigone. This is ironic because the audience/readers would not
expect for Ismene to be imprisoned as she is abiding the law out of fear.

Answer:
A
Explanation:
Remember, it all started when Isabel said “Did you guys know that bark scorpions take five years to grow to full size?” she continued “in order to get bigger, they have to shed their hard exoskeleton. It literally cracks open and they crawl out, all soft and defenseless. And then their outer layer toughens up again to
protect them.”
The comparison came when she then said “They’re always growing. They have to take a risk,...we took a risk and shed those shells — and now we’re bigger and tougher than ever!”.
So just as the scorpions were in their state of failure for five years until they shedded their shells, to overcome failure one must take a risk and shed those shells (failures).
