Pope is the writer who uses burlesque to great effect in his writing. Option C is correct.

A burlesque is a literary, dramatic or musical work created to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous treatment of their subjects.

Examples of literary burlesque are Alexander Pope's The R*pe of the Lock and Samuel Butler's Hudibras.

Alexander Pope was an 18th-century English poet.
