Explanation:

To determine the correct option for the rhyme scheme in "Antigonish", we analyze each choice:

• Option A claims an irregular rhyme scheme for confusion/suspense, but rhyme scheme analysis focuses on pattern, not mood creation.
• Option B says AABB pattern for rhythm/predictability, but "Antigonish" (the poem "The House that Jack Built" - style, often with ABAB or other, not AABB).
• Option C says free verse, but "Antigonish" has a rhyme scheme (not free verse).
• Option D: "Antigonish" (the well - known poem) uses alternating rhyme (ABAB) to highlight contrasts between lines, matching the description of using ABAB to highlight contrasts. So D is correct, and we delete A, B, C.
