This excerpt isn't humorous as well, adjectives and nouns are used in a simple manner, nothing humorous to see, as well as no emotional outburst for, again, simple words are used, nothing to exaggerate being humorous or emotional, this is why letter C and D aren't correct. On the other hand we have letter A which is basically what a routine is about "monotony".
