Well, an epic is a long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating and adventures of a heroic figure (like Hercules, Beowulf) when you think of an epic just try to remember myths and legends. And with that, I do not think D or C are the answer just due to epics aren't making fun of their culture and the pov (point of view) doesn't change during an epic or story for that matter it gets confusing. Also with answer, A, not every epic has an enchantress so I believe B is the correct answer.
I believe the answer to be D. Substitute the underline sentence with the answer choices. D makes the most sense.
Here's an example sentence.
The girl laughed as her father, the "fitness expert", struggled to do a push up.
This shows sarcasm and irony because if her father calls himself a fitness expert, then why is he struggling to do one pushup. This is the opposite of being a fitness expert.
