Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Emphatic stress refers to placing greater emphasis on a specific word within a sentence. This technique can be used for emphasis, clarification, or to correct a misunderstanding expressed in a question. In this context, the response serves to clarify an error made in the question. Therefore, the question that corresponds to the answer is the one that contains a mistake. The word that receives stress in the response is the corrected one, meaning that the question must present an alternative to the word highlighted in capital letters.
