The correct answer is: **It presents information to the reader that the characters do not yet know.**
In this instance, the irony lies in the fact that both characters are at the same location (the marina) but are unaware of each other's presence. This creates a situation where the reader understands the connection and proximity of the characters while they remain oblivious to it, enhancing the dramatic tension and engagement in the narrative.
