Answer: B No one would be glad to have no air conditioning on such a hot day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Verbal Irony is often a sarcastic statement used to express something contrary to the literal meaning. In this case, the statement mentioned above implies sarcasm because normally a person desires to have air conditioning on a hot day to cool off. This person is actually upset his/her air conditioning broke.
