Explanation:

Satire is exemplified as the literary device intended to expose the follies inherent in an individual or society through humor and sarcasm. Satirists employ irony and exaggeration to mock at the corruption or flaws of humans and their society. The primary aim of satire is to bring about reform or change in the society by criticizing the human weaknesses and foolishness humorously by replacing real characters with fictional characters. The authors commonly employ this technique to ridicule and expose the follies and foibles of human society to bring about a change. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
