Answer:

“He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.”

Explanation:

The options to the question are:

“If you see this boy,” said the ballerina, “do not—I repeat, do not—try to reason with him.”

“He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.”

“My God—” said George, “that must be Harrison!”

“Gee—I could tell that one was a doozy,” said Hazel.

Irony can be defined as the state of affairs that is contradictory opposite to what one would normally expect.

The ironic thing about the excerpt from <em>Harrison Bergeron </em>by Kurt Vonnegut is option B because it is contradictory for someone that is considered a genius and an athlete to be looked upon as "under-handicapped" and "regarded as extremely dangerous".
