Since the only way to find out if a line is written in a trimeter, or pentameter, etc. is to count the number of syllables, and then divide that number by two to get the meter, that is exactly what we are going to do here.

So, the correct answer is that this line is an example of iambic tetrameter. Tetra means 4.
