The use of situational irony is best described in option C: "However when the day of the presentation arrived a sudden power outage left the entire office in darkness canceling all activities for the day."
In this scenario, the situational irony arises because Thomas put in so much effort to prepare for his presentation, expecting it to lead to a promotion, but an unforeseen event (the power outage) completely undermines his plans and preparations. The outcome is contrary to what is expected, which is the essence of situational irony.
