Answer

Brief Explanations:

Verbal irony involves saying the opposite of what is meant. The phrase "as pleasant as a traffic jam" is ironic because traffic jams are unpleasant. For spring allergy sufferers, a botanical garden (with many plants/pollen) would be unpleasant. The first option ("The botanical garden is unpleasant for allergy sufferers") matches the irony's implication, while the second is about noise/crowding, not related to the irony's context (allergy + ironic pleasantry comparison).

Answer:

The botanical garden is unpleasant for allergy sufferers.
