Iambic pentameter is a poetic meter that consists of a pattern of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, repeated five times in a line. This means that each line in a poem written in iambic pentameter will have ten syllables in total, with the stress falling on every second syllable.

For example, in the line "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" by William Shakespeare, the stressed syllables are on the words "Shall," "compare," "thee," "sum," and "day," following the unstressed syllables in between.

So, the correct answer to the question is:
A. a pattern of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable repeated five times in a line.
