C. the fact that T. J. does not have the right to use the rooftop despite creating the garden.

Explanation:

The irony is a rhetorical device that writers use by making the characters say or making the scene seem like one thing but what happens is the opposite or unexpected. In simple words, it is when what is expected and what results are contradictory to each other.

In the given quote from Borden Deal's short story "Antaeus", TJ's insistence that the garden at the rooftop of the abandoned building is their own land. And so, when the owner ordered his men to remove it, TJ refuses to give in and declares: "It's our earth. It's our land. Can't nobody touch a man's own land."

But this is ironic as we know the building is someone else's and that the boys do not have the right to use it. So, TJ's insistence on 'fighting to save it' is ironic considering they were on someone's property even though they had created the garden.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
