To determine if the statement represents irony, we need to understand the definition of irony. Irony is a literary device where there is a contradiction between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.
In the given scenario, Della cuts off her long, beautiful hair and sells it to buy a watch chain for her husband's prized pocket watch. However, Jim sells his pocket watch to buy an ornate brush for Della. This creates a situation where Della's sacrifice of her hair becomes unnecessary because Jim sold his watch. This unexpected outcome can be seen as ironic, as it goes against what one might expect to happen in a situation where a sacrificial act is made.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Yes, this statement represents irony.
