Answer:

A. I gave the best of all I have to offer to Sam.

Explanation:

An iamb is a metrical foot that consists of one unstressed and one stressed syllable. The line that consists of iambs is the first one: I gave the best of all I have to offer to Sam. We can confirm this by highlighting stressed syllables in all of the lines:

  • I give the best of all I have to offer Sam.
  • At the end of the month, I get paid.
  •  Stopping smoking helps your health.
  • Quarterly figures are plummeting steadily.

We can see that the first line is the only one when an unstressed syllable is always followed by a stressed one, which makes its meter iambic.

A. I gave the best of all I have to offer to Sam
