Explanation:

The phrase "The gaolers now fling the supposed corpse upon a hand - bier" shows roughness as the action of flinging implies a lack of care in handling the body. The other options do not directly convey roughness in treating the body.

Answer:

"The gaolers now fling the supposed corpse upon a hand - bier." (paragraph 11)
