The correct answer is d it presents information to the reader that the characters do not yet know.
In the paragraphs, the irony lies in the fact that both Sam and Mel are at the same location (the marina) but are unaware of each other's presence. This piece of information creates dramatic irony, as the reader knows something that the characters do not, heightening the tension and engagement in the scene.
