Correct Answer:
A. lambic pentameter
Explanation:
The correct answer is iambic pentameter. Blank verse is a literary device defined as unrhymed verse written in iambic pentameter, which consists of lines with five metrical feet where each foot contains an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. This form is widely used in English poetry and drama, most notably by William Shakespeare and John Milton, because its rhythm closely mimics the natural cadence of English speech.
