Answer:

B: situational irony

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario presents a situational irony, which is the type of irony that shows a contrast between what was expected to happen and what really happens in a story. This literary device is explored in the idea that Little Johnny plants tomatoes seeds and is very careful with the plant but the result is the blooming of another plant.
