Correct Answer
C
Explanation
The word “continental” follows a common English stress pattern where the stress falls on the syllable before certain suffixes, such as “-al.” In this case, “NEN” is stressed because it precedes the “-al” suffix, which often carries a secondary, lesser stress. This stress pattern gives the word a natural flow when pronounced, emphasizing the “NEN” part of the word.
