Which is an example of dramatic irony?

A mother promises her son money for college tuition, while the audience knows she has already spent the money on a new car.
A young man declares his love for his girlfriend, while the audience knows that he is true to her.
A young girl says her final goodbyes from her sickbed, while the audience knows that she is dying.
A mayor speaks to the townspeople about getting rid of corruption, while the audience knows that she is an honest woman.

Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the characters don't know, like when a character in a horror movie doesn't know a jump-scare is coming but the audience does because of the building up of music they hear during the scene.

A is the right answer: A mother promises her son money for college tuition, while the audience knows she has already spent the money on a new car.

Hope i helped !
