The correct answer is **situational irony**. This is because John claims to be "amazing" at something (his toothpick sculpture), yet the context implies that he is cleaning up the remnants of that sculpture, suggesting that it did not hold up well. This contrast between his confidence and the reality of the situation creates situational irony.
