    A. Prose
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Prose" because the play is written in ordinary language without any specific meter or rhyme scheme. Prose is the most common form of writing and is used to convey everyday speech and dialogue. In contrast, metrical verse refers to poetry that follows a specific pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables, either in hexameter (six feet per line) or pentameter (five feet per line). Since the play is not written in a specific metrical pattern, the answer is "Prose".
