Sagot :

azikennamdi

In the parlance of literature, when the audience knows a thing about a character that the character himself or herself doesn't know, it is called Dramatic Irony.

  • Read carefully again, the question states that Sebastian told Antonio that his twin sister (Viola) drowned in a shipwreck. Notice again that all of this happened in Act II Scene I.

  • Fast-forward to Act II Scene II, we see very clearly that Viola is very much alive although disguised as Cesario.

  • Dramatic Irony is a literary technique that was originally used in Greek tragedy.

The correction option, therefore, is Option B.
