Explanation:

Prose is a standard writing format that does not follow the metrical structure of poetry. It is commonly used in fiction (like novels, short stories) and non - fiction (like essays, reports), but not in poetry which has its own metrical and rhythmic structures. Option A is wrong because prose is not a format of poetry. Option B is wrong as prose is in non - fiction. Option D is wrong as prose is in fiction. So the correct option is C.

Answer:

C. A standard writing format found in fiction and nonfiction, but not poetry
