Answer: Re/dun'/dant.

Explanation: In English language, when a word has two or more syllables, usually one of the syllables carries a stressed accent in the vowel. This means that when pronounced, that vowel sound is louder than the rest. This is known as accented syllable

in the example given, this means, re/dun'/dant, where dun is the accented syllable.
