Answer:
Option D. The symbol (´) indicated the syllable most emphasized.
Explanation:
A syllable is a "beat" of spoken word. Every English word has at least one syllable, but can have plenty more than one. When a word has more than one syllable, one of them is given more emphasis than the rest in order to help with the rhythmic patter of the word when being spoken. This syllable is known as the stressed syllable.
Dictionaries write the symbol (´) next to the most stressed syllable of the word so that the reader understands who it has to be pronounced.
