Answer:

The correct answer is A. Marlow calls a highly flawed colonialist official a "supernatural being."

Explanation:

Heart of Darkness is a novel by Joseph Conrad, who was a Polish-British writer. The book tells the story of a trip to the Congo Free State, considered as the Heart of Africa. Charles Marlow is the narrator of the novel. Since the story is being told from a trip up the River Thames, Conrad creates a parallelism between London and Africa. Sarcasm is defined as a device that mocks trying to attack a person or a group of people through irony or satire.

From the option, letter A contains sarcasm because Marlow assigns the colonialist supernatural characteristics just because of the context, meaning that the guy could be just another one in a different situation, or even someone despicable.
