The correct answer is D. By reading the lines aloud you realize the stress falls towards the end of each of them. Moreover, the words that are important for the meaning of the lines are towards the end of the lines, so they should be stressed.

The lines convey the speaker's militants determination. By analyzing some words and phrases such as "not winced nor cried", "bludgeonings" and "not unbowed", the reader can infer that the writer has had a hard life and has been tried to be brought down to his knees, but he is willing to continue and push though the problems he encounters in life.
