Solution

The correct option is C Comedy
The situation and the reactions to that situation which the extract describes is humorous - there's a landed gentry who is knee-deep into debt and wants to come out of this by selling property that's already mortgaged and that to his agent's father nonetheless. Also dialogues like "Now, Sir Edward, shall I ring for the servants to kick me out" invoke laughter. So, we can conclude that the play is a comedy. It is definitely not what the other choices state. So, option C is the answer.
