Answer:

Dramatic Irony

Step-by-step explanation:

Dramatic irony is demonstrated as the literary devices in which the audiences' are aware of a specific situation, cause of conflict, or its resolution but the characters are not. It helps the author in developing tension among the readers and building suspense as the readers' are uncertain about the characters' next move. Similarly, in the given example audience knowing about the 'masked young man being Romeo, a Montague' and characters not having an idea of this exemplifies 'dramatic irony.'
