Answer:
C. A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.
Explanation:
The irony is when what happens is contradictory to what is expected or wanted. In other words, the irony is a rhetorical device that occurs when what one expects and wanted does not happen but rather, the contrary/opposite happens.
In the given passage about performers, the irony is that they rely on public opinion and the public's support for their success as performers. But then, they wanted privacy and to be away from the public. So, this is a complete irony in that while they desire the public for their success, they also yearn for privacy.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
I believe it is called interjection:) good luck!
