The correct answer is C. Words that suggest the opposite of what is meant

Explanation:

In literary works, the irony is defined as a literary device that aims at setting a contrast between what is expected and what happens in reality, it means there is a difference between what is being said and what really means. In literary works irony can be presented in three different ways, the first one is situational irony in which the situation presented is ironic it means what occurs it is not what is expected in that situation; the second one is dramatic irony in which the reader is aware of something most of the characters in the story ignore and the third one is verbal irony in which the writer uses certain words intentionally but means something different, this means there is an opposition between the words said and the real meaning. Thus, if a writer uses irony he would most likely use words that suggest the opposite of what is meant.
