The correct answer is C. To him who in the love of Nature holds.

Pentameter means that there are ten syllables within one line: meter consists of two syllables, and penta means five, so those two combined would result in ten syllables per line. Iambic means that there are two syllables, where the first one is unstressed, and the one following it is stressed, which is the case in sentence C.
