Which sentence describes a poems meter a. the poen follows an abcd rhyme scheme b. every three syllables in each line is accented c. thunderstorm represents conflict?

The sentence that describes a poem's meter is: b. every three syllables in each line is accented.

Here's why:

* Meter refers to the rhythmic pattern of a poem, created by the arrangement of stressed and unstressed syllables.

* Rhyme scheme (a) describes how lines rhyme, not the rhythm.

* Thunderstorm representing conflict (c) is a literary device (symbolism) and doesn't relate to meter.

The example in option (b) describes a specific meter called anapestic trimeter, where every three syllables have a pattern of two unstressed followed by one stressed.
