Answer: C) Nature versus humanity
The statements, "Master Malandain, who is a kind man, unintentionally causes another character great harm" and "The mayor is a foolish person who accidentally makes an extremely wise decision" are examples of situational irony.
Option - A and D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The irony is a literary device employed by many a author to create pathos or humor, to surprise his readers and to make his literary piece appealing.
Situational irony refers to a situation in the story when there is existence of contradiction to what the reader expects as per the details given in the novel.
For example , in a famous poem by an Indian author Vikram Seth ‘The Tale of the Melon City’ the king is the one who is looking for a culprit to be hanged for the insult that he has borne but in the process of looking for the real culprit, he is one who is hanged that too as a consequence of his decision to satisfy the spectators. This is an example of situational irony.
In the chosen options, contradiction persists.
Master Malandain is a benevolent one who has no intention of harming anyone but the events in the story proceed in a way to create a situation in which a character suffers great harm because of him.
The second chosen option i.e. D, again portrays a contradictory situation where a moron King accidentally takes a wise decision shocking the readers.
