What is a dilemma?

When a protagonist is considering multiple solutions to a problem.
When a character experiences physical suffering.
When a protagonist is faced with a moral decision.
When a character is dealing with different types of irony.

The correct answer is: When a protagonist is faced with a moral decision.

A dilemma is a situation in which a person is faced with a difficult decision between two options, usually one being unfavorable. In this case, option A refers to the term "conundrum", which is similar to a dilemma but focuses more on a problem and its solutions, rather than a moral decision. Option B is referring to the literary term "suffering", which is a form of conflict but not necessarily a dilemma. Option D is describing a different type of literary term, irony, which is unrelated to a dilemma. Therefore, option C, which mentions a moral decision, is the most accurate definition of a dilemma.
