It's worth learning this!

The apostrophe before the following syllable indicates that the previous syllable is stressed.

From LawlessEnglish.com  "Syllable Stress "

English words that are polysyllabic (have more than one syllable) always have one syllable that is stressed. In most English dictionaries, the stressed syllable is indicated by a stress mark, a symbol that resembles an apostrophe. The stress mark follows the syllable that is stressed.

For example, in the word incredible, the second syllable (-cred-) is stressed. Here are some examples.

2 3 4

ex′it op′po·site Feb′ru·ar·y

hu′mid ex·am′ine in·cred′i·ble

ma·chine′ em·ploy·ee′ psy·cho′lo·gy

Here is the Dictionary.com  for retribution retribution noun

ret·​ri·​bu·​tion | \ ˌre-trə-ˈbyü-shən  \

The apostrophe is before the 'byu  so the PREVIOUS syllable is the one that is stressed.

Third is the answer.
