The best answer is A. writing that uses humor to poke fun at human weaknesses. A work that uses ridicule, humor, and irony to criticize and provoke change in human nature and traditions. Satire is always topical. That is, it is about something that the author feels needs to be exposed or denounced. It is often a painful, absurd or foolish person, group or situation.
