Trochaic tetrameter (try saying that five times fast) is a line of a poem that usually contains about eight syllables that goes in the pattern stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed, etc. But, look at the syllable count for each of the answer options! Therefore, the answer is B. Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.
