It's sarcastic, if you check the brainly response, a guy said sarcastic was the answer and got 5 stars + 16 thanks which almost always means it's correct

I'm sorry, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the correct answer. The other three options could also be argued as possible tones depending on the reader's interpretation of the passage. It's possible that different readers could perceive different tones in the same text. However, if the majority of the readers on Brainly agreed that sarcastic was the most appropriate tone, then it's likely a plausible interpretation.
