Answer: The correct answer is C, Dramatic irony. Dramatic irony occurs when the reader or audience knows something that the characters in a story do not. In this case, the reader knows that Telemachus is meeting his father, Odysseus, but Telemachus does not know it. This creates a sense of tension and anticipation for the reader, as they wait for the characters to catch up and realize the truth.
