Explanation:

Iambic pentameter consists of five metrical feet per line, where an iamb is a pair of syllables with the second syllable stressed. A sonnet's rhyme - scheme is not related to iambic pentameter, and there are not five lines in a metrical foot. Also, in an iamb, it's about syllables, not two - word pairs.

Answer:

A. Each line contains five metrical feet.
E. In a group of two syllables, the second is stressed.
