The correct answer is A. Iambic tetrameter (The foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This pattern repeats four times in each line).

<em>Twas </em><em>brill</em><em>ig, </em><em>and </em><em>the </em><em>sli</em><em>thy </em><em>toves </em><em> </em>

<em> Did </em><em>gyre</em><em> and </em><em>gim</em><em>ble </em><em>in</em><em> the </em><em>wabe</em>

In the excerpt the first syllable is not stressed, and it is followed by a stressed syllable; this is called a iamb. This was common in Greek comedies and tragedies.

This pattern is repeated four times during the verses, so it is a tetrameter.
