    A. Ten beats (syllables) a line, iambic pentameter

    Explanation:

    "It is used both in early forms of English poetry and in later forms; William Shakespeare famously used iambic pentameter in his plays and sonnets. As lines in iambic pentameter usually contain ten syllables, it is considered a form of decasyllabic verse."
