Answer:

The correct answer is B. An iamb consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

An iamb consists of two syllables, the first of which is short (unstressed) followed by a long (stressed) syllable. Shakespeare used iambic pentameter in most of his poetry, and it can certainly be found in your example - Sonnet 29 "When, in Disgrace with Fortune and Men's Eyes."
