The answer is B: monosyllabic foot.

Explanation for each option:

A. Meter: This refers to the structured pattern of rhythm in a line of poetry, typically involving a sequence of stressed and unstressed syllables. It is not defined as one accented syllable.

B. Monosyllabic foot: This is the correct answer. A monosyllabic foot consists of a single syllable that is stressed or accented. It is a type of metrical foot in poetry.

C. Blank verse: This is unrhymed iambic pentameter, a type of poetry that has a regular meter but does not rhyme. It is not defined as one accented syllable.

D. Conceit: This is a type of extended metaphor or simile that makes a surprising or unusual comparison between two very different things. It is not related to the concept of a single accented syllable.
