The correct answer is option A ("Sarcastic").
In this short excerpt from Jonathan Swift's poem "The Lady's Dressing Room", we have <u>a couple of clues</u> that clearly enough indicate a sarcastic tone.
Primarily, what I'm looking at is <u>the choice of words</u> from the author:
The woman is not being addressed as a simple human but rather a female deity or <u>goddess</u>. Her struggles (as large as they may seem to her), are somewhat dismissed or mocked by the poet considering that the lady is surrounded by luxury. The mention of <u>brocades</u> also points towards that tonal direction, given that it's a highly expensive fabric most commonly laced with gold or silver.
Hope this helps!
