B) Dramatic Irony.

Explanation: An irony is a figure of speech that consists in the use of words with an intended meaning, different from the actual meaning of the words. It can also be a situation that develops different of what is expected. Dramatic irony is when the audience understands the situation or events, but the characters don't. The given excerpt from "The Odyssey" is an example of dramatic audience, because Antinous doesn't know that the beggar is actually Odysseus in disguise (but the reader does know), so he insults the beggar.
