    Answer: b. iamb (an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable)

    Explanation:

    The foot pattern used is that of an Iamb.

    An Iamb is one of the most popular metrical feet in Poetry and was used intensively by Shakespeare.

    A word is considered an Iamb when it starts with unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This means that while the first syllable is short, the following syllable is accented and long. For example, among or instead. It can be two words like she-will.

    In a line it follows the same concept, an unstressed syllable, followed by a stressed syllable.

    In the above that would be,

    Coming with vivid faces

    From counter or desk among grey.
