Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
The play would not have a comic tone.
During the fire incidence at the hotel, the employees and guests at the hotel would react and panic and would immediately look for an escape route under normal circumstances. The characters will not be interested in having a calm conversation or waste any more time but will immediately call the fire service for help.
The calm reaction of the characters to the escalated fire ready to burn down the hotel gives the play a comic tone. The play will lose its humorous effect if the characters panicked.
