A. The men die in the bog.

B. The men return covered in mud.

C. The men are never found.

D. The men track mud in on the carpet.

The men return covered in mud.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

Situational irony is when something happens that is completely opposite to what the audience expects. When the neurotic Framton Nuttel arrives at the Sappletons' country home to rest his nerves, Vera meets him at the door and immediately assesses that he is a vulnerable, gullible man.

Having noted Nuttel's discomfiture and ascertained his unfamiliarity with the people in the area, the obviously precocious and mischievous Vera tells Framton Nuttel the fabricated story of the hunters' death because she realizes that she can play a practical joke on him.
