Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

When answering questions on emphatic stress, the option that negates or contradicts the word on emphasis is the correct option

From the above question, the emphatic stress is placed on the word ''stole''. So we look out for options that doesn't contain ''stole'' and completely negates the word. 

Option A is correct because the word ''borrow'' contadicts the emphasized word ''stole''.

mary stole the biro in Tunde's locker. mary did not borrow the biro.
