The correct answer is A.

The irony in this excerpt is given by the fact that what is intended to be an insult is taken as a compliment.

Fritz warns Frank that, because of her going out so much, people are starting to believe that she has a lover and that he is writing her books for her. He intents this as an insult, as if people are calling her a fraud.

However, for Frank, it is a compliment because if they believe her lover, a man, is writing them, then her books must be very good.

The mood is the atmosphere of the story, and the tone is the author's attitude towards the topic. We can identify both by looking at the setting, characters, details, and word choices.
