An example of dramatic irony is when the sentry goes to tell Creon that the body of Polyneices has been give a light burial.This is an example because we teh readers know what the characters in the book do not know.

I would say the answer is

A.) Creon blames the guard for burying Polyneices, whereas Antigone is actually the one who buries him according to the proper rites.

The reason I say this is because we know that Antigone buried him when the Creon doesn’t know.
