The climax of the story of The Gift of the Magi is a good example of which type of irony?

Situational irony occurs when the outcome is different from what the characters or reader expect. Della sells her hair to buy Jim a chain for his watch, while Jim sells his watch to buy combs for Della’s hair. Their loving gifts are sincere, but each is temporarily unusable because of the other’s sacrifice, making the climax an example of situational irony.
