Setting doesn't make sense, so mark that off. Neither does tragic resolution. So now you are left with two possible choices as with most multiple choice questions. Characterization is the act of characterizing or describing an individual quality of a person or thing. I would say A

The Cask of Amontillado is the short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The story is based on unnamed Italian city at the time of festival of carnival. It revolves around a man taking fatal revenge upon his friend who has insulted him.

The Characterization best identifies the given passage.

Reason:

The passage is telling about the personality of the character, therefore the characterization best identifies the meaning of the passage.

Reason for incorrect options:

  • Option B Irony/ sarcasm is not used in the passage because irony is saying something for doing something else.

  • Option C setting is not used in the passage as the words are not in perfect setting and not in proper way.

  • Option D tragic resolution is not in the passage as there is no description of any occurrence of tragedy.

Therefore, characterization best describes the passage.
