Answer: EASY
Knowledge: Stress of 2 syllable words
Explain:
A. shadow /’∫ædəʊ/: the stress falls on the first syllable because the principle never falls on the /əʊ/ sound.
B. lifelong /’laɪflɒŋ/: the stress falls on the first syllable because according to the principle the stress falls on the diphthong /aɪ/.
C. worship /’wɜ:∫ɪp/: the stress falls on the first syllable because according to the principle the stress falls on the long vowel /ɜ:/.
D. unique /ju’ni:k/: the stress falls on the second syllable because according to the principle the stress falls on the long vowel /i:/.
=> Option D has stress on the second syllable, the remaining options have stress on the first syllable.
