The correct answer is A. The term iambic pentameter refers to a line of poetry with ten syllables with stress put on every other syllable.

Explanation:

In poetry, the iambic pentameter is a type of structure in verses or metric that includes five iambs and because of this is called iambic pentameter. Additionally, the iamb is a unit composed of two syllables the first one is an unstressed syllable or short syllable and the second one is a stressed or long syllable. This implies each verse with iambic pentameter has ten syllables as each iamb has two syllables and it includes an unstressed-stressed syllable sequence or it has stress one every other syllable. Therefore, "iambic pentameter refers to a line of poetry with ten syllables with stress put on every other syllable".
