In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which is the best substitute of the phrase. A funeral poem Correct Answer Elegy

The correct answer is option1, i.e. Elegy. 

In English literature, an elegy is a poem of serious reflection, typically a lament for the dead. Thus, it captures the idea of the above phrase in the most appropriate manner. Option 2, i.e. ‘Pandemonium’ is a wild and noisy disorder or confusion, whereas ‘parody’ is an imitation or version of something that falls far short of the real thing and a ‘sonnet is ‘a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line’. All the option except 1 are irrelevant and does not highlight the seriousness that must be associated with a funeral poem. Thus, they can be rejected.
