C. It helps readers feel empathy or sympathy for the characters
Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows more about a situation than the characters do. This situation can heighten emotional engagement, as readers or viewers may feel compassion, frustration, or concern for the characters based on the discrepancy between their knowledge and the characters' understanding. This can deepen the emotional impact of the narrative.
