a. understatement

b. dialect

c. sarcasm

Explanation:

In Mark Twain's works, using quotation marks around words like "labboard" is a way to represent dialect (regional or non - standard language usage). Understatement is downplaying something, sarcasm is ironic mockery, and hyperbole is exaggeration—none of these match the use of quotation marks for non - standard vocabulary here.
