Explanation:

Verbal irony involves saying the opposite of what is true. Mary's cap fell over her eyes ten times, implying it didn't fit well. Caden's remark "That fits you well" is ironic, so the reality is the cap was too big (since a well - fitting cap wouldn't fall over eyes repeatedly). The other options ("The cap was a good fit", "The cap looked nice on Mary") go against the situation shown by the cap falling over her eyes.

Answer:

The cap was too big.
