Answer:

B. "Why , my God! they used to go there by the hundreds."

Step-by-step explanation:

The author uses irony in this phrase to express the surprise at Gatsby's funeral when it was realized that almost no one appeared at the funeral to bid him goodbye, but hundreds of people knew Gatsby, said they loved him, and were often seen at his party.
