Rule 2 of stress, words that ends with: ial, ion, ence, ent, and ic are stress on the 2nd syllable counting from the left, sot the given question doesnt end with the listed alphabets, so it is stressed at the 3rd syllable so the answer is, B

In stress we count from the end of the word so it is 3rd syllable from the end of the word su-BUR-ba-nite

B is most correct!my school. when talking about those rules ; counting from the back or front, words with ic or ial or ence ...
those rules where all gotten from the rules in phonetic analogy .. one has to study vowels and diphthongs that are always stressed whenever they appear in a given word ...
analysing suburbanite.. the 3: sound appears on the second syllable ... so it is stressed that way because the sound is a stressed sound

The word "suburbanite" has it's stress on the second syllable not the first

So option B is the correct answer
