The answer is the first option. Iambic pentameters deal with five pairs syllables.

Answer:

The correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

An iamb is a foot in a line of poetry that consists of an unstressed or short syllable followed by a stressed or long one. In this verse, there are 5 feet or sets of such pattern, which makes a pentameter since penta means 5.
