The literary device that best describes that difference is:
A. dramatic irony.
Explanation:
Dramatic irony is a literary device that is often applied to create humor or suspense, for instance. It refers to a situation where the audience knows and understands something the characters themselves do not. One of the most famous examples of dramatic irony takes place in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." The audience knows Juliet has taken some medicine that will make her look dead. However, the character Romeo is told that she has actually died and, believing it to be true, kills himself.
