Answer;
Each foot consists of one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable.

Step-by-step explanation;
A foot is a unit of meter ( the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables established in a line of poetry). A metrical foot can have two or three syllables.
A foot consists generally of one stressed and one or more unstressed syllables. A line may have one foot, two feet, etc. Poetic lines are classified according to the number of feet in a line.
