Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word or phrase in a sentence. The rule of emphatic stress states that the stress should be placed on the question that has a word/phrase that is different from the word/phrase in capital letters. In this case, the question: "DId the king walk to the palace?" has the word "walk" which is different from the emphasized word in the sentence (RUN).
