I believe it's trochaic (stressed, unstressed, stressed, unstressed, ...).

The meter of the following line is trochaic. Option A is correct.

Trochaic tetrameter is a meter in poetry. It refers to a line of four trochaic feet. A trochee is a long syllable, or stressed syllable, followed by a short, or unstressed, one. In poetry, meter refers to the basic rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse.

In poetic metre, a trochee choree or choreus consists of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one.
