Answer: B
In English, nouns are generally accented on the first syllable.
Most two-syllable nouns in English carry stress on the first syllable: TAble, WAter, MOther, GARden. This contrast is clearest in noun-verb pairs spelled alike, where the noun is stressed on the first syllable and the verb on the second: a REcord / to reCORD, a PREsent / to preSENT, an OBject / to obJECT.
The second, middle or last syllable is stressed in particular words, but not as a general rule for nouns.
