Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

C really isn't ironic at all.

B has the same characteristic. Weddings do cost money. Drama really isn't an ironic result.

D is just a silly law. It doesn't strike me as ironic. Just silly.

A is the answer, I think. So you cure the common cold but then you get the flu. I take that to be irony.
