The correct answer is letter D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.

Explanation:

As every eye awaits her hand

To cue the members of the band.

The lines above are an example of iambic tetrameter. An iamb is a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Since we have that pattern repeat 4 times in each line, they are called iambic tetrameters (tetra means 4). Since both lines have the same meter, we can say the meter is fixed. Also, since they are iambic, they end in a stressed syllable, which draws attention to the end rhyme. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.
