The stress that should be placed on a syllable is indicated by the use of an accent mark. Option A is correct.

In most English dictionaries, the stressed syllable will be indicated by a stress mark, a symbol akin to an apostrophe. The stress mark follows the syllable that is stressed. Polysyllabic English words. that is words cointaining more than one syllable, always have one syllable that is stressed.
