B. paradox

Explanation:

A paradox is a statement or comparison that appears contradictory but actually contains a deeper truth.

Example:

“The more you learn, the less you know.”

It seems contradictory at first, but it makes sense when you think deeply.

Why others are wrong:
Irony → when the opposite of what is expected happens
Contrast → showing differences between two things
Parallelism → similar structure in sentences

the answer is contrast
saying its paradox is completely wrong
