Answer:

The correct answer is B. Dramatic Irony. (The word is mistyped in the options).

Step-by-step explanation:

Dramatic irony is a type of irony in literature that refers to the phenomenon in which the audience or the reader surpasses an understanding of an event that the character of the play is unaware of.

Dramatic irony is created when a reader or the spectator of the play, novel, etc is aware or suspicious about the things that is going to take place. This form of irony intensifies the mood of the audience depending upon the event.

In the given case, the awareness of the audience about Drake being a recipient of the Roy G. Biv scholarship about which Drake is unaware of is an example of dramatic irony.

So, the correct answer is option B.
