Answer:

d) irony

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device that expresses a discrepancy between what is said and what is meant, or between what is expected or what we believe is normal and what actually happens. The sentence is an example of irony because it shows a situation that we do not normally expect: the fire station, which is supposed to be the most protected place against fire, burned down!
