The correct choice is the fourth: "the creation of a disconnect between what is expected and what occurs."

Briefly: that's irony. Types include situational irony (e.g., a fire station burns down), verbal irony (saying "Great!" when something goes wrong), and dramatic irony (the audience knows something a character does not).
