Correct answer: C
Answer: Prose
Doggerel means poorly written or irregular verse, often comic or trivial in tone.
Prose means ordinary written or spoken language without metrical structure (non‑poetic writing).
Because doggerel is a kind of verse (poetry) and prose is non‑poetic, prose is the best opposite among the options.
Rhyme: similarity of sounds in poetry; related to poetic form but not an antonym.
Paraphernalia: miscellaneous equipment; unrelated in meaning to doggerel.
Expound: a verb meaning to explain; not an antonym of a type of writing.
Therefore, prose is the correct choice as the word opposite in meaning to doggerel.
