It is D. Witty Language.

Mathias Frey · Answer 2

In the passage, Wilde uses the "D. Witty Language" to achieve an aesthetic impact. The last sentence in the passage, "If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact" is similar to a joke's punchline. This punchline makes a different way of adding aesthetic value to the story, therefore, the witty language is the most suitable answer.
