Explanation
Dramatic irony occurs when readers understand something that the characters do not. Orwell uses this gap to show that the animals believe they are gaining freedom and a better life, while readers can recognize that they are being exploited and do not understand their true situation. This makes the animals’ naivety clear, so the best choice is “completely naive and unaware of their true situation.”
