D.
Verbal

Respuesta :

It’s b I’m pretty sure

Answer:

C. Situational

Explanation:

Cosmic irony "suggests a higher force (e.g., a supreme being, fate, the universe, etc.) ultimately will smash any semblance of hope on the part of "lowly" humans." In this situation, there is no higher or supernatural force. It is a simple coin flip that would determine the fate of Earth which is situational irony (when the opposite of what is expected, happens).
