B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Perhaps the most bitter irony of “The Necklace” is that the arduous life that Mathilde must assume after losing the necklace makes her old life-the one she resented so fully-seem luxurious.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. An example of situational irony is the fact that the Loisels spend years paying off a necklace that was worthless. 2. An example of dramatic irony is found in the fact that Mathilde tries hard to live an aristocratic life but her aspirations result in the decline of her social class rather than in an advancement.
