Answer: B. The first and fourth syllable in each line it creates a sensation of horse hooves drumming on the ground.

Step-by-step explanation: When we have a word with more than one syllable, one of them is more accentuated than the others. When we talk or read, we make more emphasis in one of the syllables of the word, this is called the "stressed syllables" it is also called the accented syllable. In a poem or stanza, the stressed syllables help the author to create rhythm. In the given passage the stressed syllables are the first and fourth in each line. We can notice it by reading it out loud and paying attention to the accentuation.
