Whenever we talk about the "degree" of something, we are talking about how much of it there is. Thus, the "degree of anger" that someone is feeling is the amount of anger that he or she is feeling in a particular situation. Thus, "degree" can mean "how far," "amount," or "extent." The word "extent" is a synonym for "area" (or "distance") but it also is a good synonym for "degree." Think of some expressions you might use. You could say, "To what degree was the building damaged in the earthquake?" You could, however, also say, "What was the extent of the damage to the building during the earthquake?"

Based on the options for this question, it is clear that the word "ridicule" is being used as a noun. All of the options are nouns. Now, the verb form of "ridicule" means to make fun of or to mock. Thus, the noun "ridicule" describes the kind of mockery that happens whenever someone is made fun of.
