Answer:

eye

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary accented syllable is the one with the most emphasis when you speak it out loud. (eye) should sound like EYE! when you say it out loud, contrary to the syllables like (sis) and (sor). Think about the tone you said psoriasis in when you say it, and the word that sounds the loudest is the primary accented syllable.
