Answer: A) Absurd.
Explanation: An irony is a figure of speech that consists in a contradiction or incongruity between what is expected and what actually occurs. There are three main kinds of irony: dramatic irony (when the audience knows something that the characters of the story don't know), situational irony (is when a situation is contradictory) or verbal irony (when the irony is expressed by talking). Irony (or comic irony) is most often used to point out something absurd (or to criticize), so the correct answer is option A.
