Answer:

B. The cash was in Victor's pocket the whole time, but he loves it while he is fighting Gil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Irony is a rhetorical device that refers to when things did not go as expected. In an ironic situation, what is expected and what happens is the exact opposite of each other.

In the given scenario, Victor's belief that Gil took his money led to the altercation. But basing his suspicions without any proof, Victor may have made a huge mistake. Moreover, one ending that will be the most ironic is if Victor found the money in his own pocket while he'd blamed and even fought with Gil.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
