Answer: Irony/sarcasm

Explanation:

The passage "You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat" best exemplifies irony/sarcasm. The speaker, Montresor, is being insincere because he does have malicious intentions toward Fortunato, despite claiming otherwise. This contrast between Montresor's words and his true intentions creates a sense of irony.
