Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word or syllable in an utterance. This is done either for emphasis or clarification. In the utterance, stress is placed on the word given in capital letters to clarify a mistake made by the person who asked a question. The question should contain a word or phrase that contrasts with just the stressed word or phrase in the utterance. In this case, option B is the answer:
Is the electricity in your neighbour's premises supplied by a generator?
No. The electricity in OUR premises comes from a generator.
