The answer is A: The statement represents situational irony; what happens is the opposite of what one expects.

Situational irony is a literary device that is presented when there is an incongruity between the expectations that a phrase fosters and the outcome. This is to say, the final outcome is unexpected and does not conform to what would have been the regular or predictable result. Situational irony often includes marked contrasts or contradictions.
