Answer: B
The key says the first two lines of the last stanza deal with a dilemma.
The lines read: 'When, finally, we reached the place, / We hardly knew why we were there.' The travellers arrive but cannot say what the arrival was for, and are left puzzled between the purpose they started with and the emptiness they find. The key reads that puzzlement as a dilemma.
An observation, a plain report of what happened, is the nearest alternative reading, and a candidate could defend it; the key does not. 'An irony' would need a gap between expectation and result that the lines state outright, and 'an assertion' would need a claim argued for, which these lines do not make.
