What is the situational irony in the story federigo's Falcon by Giovanni Boccaccio.

The correct answer is B Mona’s son has a terminal illness so the Falcon can’t save him.

It is ironical that the reason Mona’s son had to keep alive, was the reason that then he dad to finally die. Mona went for the falcon to save his son’s live, but without expecting it, she was ending his life, because she did not know what Federigo was capable of doing just to please the love of his life.  One fact that makes the situation more ironical, it is Mona visiting a man she did not expect to visit once in her life, and she just did it for her son’s life. This interested visit had a high price to pay, this abnormal action demanded from life a cost to bear. All what Federigo gave from his life to be with Mona, now was getting back in a very unreasonably manner. Federigo’s wealth had to disappear and Mona’s son’s precious life gone too, for both of them to be together. Mona “would rather have a man who lacks money than money that lacks a man.”

the correct answer is:   [d]:   " diagram "   .
