Explanation:

The speaker claims to be 'civilized' because of having electricity but is also involved in shooting down men. This is a form of verbal irony where the words mean the opposite of what is actually the case, which is sarcasm. There is no broad - scale mockery as in satire, no detailed descriptive language for imagery, and no down - playing of something significant as in understatement.

Answer:

C. Sarcasm
