The correct answer is C. Poetry has a rhythmic pattern that uses stressed and unstressed syllables, while prose uses paragraphs.

Explanation:

Poetry and prose are two different types of writing styles. Prose refers to regular writing, in which information is organized in paragraphs, and there is not a specific rhythmic pattern. Also, in prose rhyme and other poetic devices are not common.

On the opposite, in poetry the information is organized in verses and stanzas; besides this, poetry has a rhythmic pattern or meter which means each verse has a specific number and combination of syllables. This implies one of the most important elements that define poetry is a rhythmic pattern and thus, the correct answer is "Poetry has a rhythmic pattern that uses stressed and unstressed syllables, while prose uses paragraphs".
