Emphatic stress is the placement of greater stress on a particular word or syllable for emphasis or clarification. For emphatic stress questions, the stress is placed on the part of the sentence that requires clarification. In this case, the correct option should be the question that does not have the emphasised word, but has everything else, so that the given sentence would be the appropriate response to the question, as in: Was the accused sentenced to life imprisonment? The accused hasn't even been TRIED yet.
