Answer:

Hi!

The answer to your question would be option A. Strawberry.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we first need to know what the word dactyl is. Dactyl, as defined by the dictionary, means a metrical foot consisting of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables or (in Greek and Latin) one long syllable followed by two short syllables.

In this case, the word strawberry consists of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones.
