The statement that most adequately recounts the meter would be as follows:

D). The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.

'Meter' is characterized as the pattern of rhythm(emphasis on particular words through syllables) that is followed by the poet or poetess in a poem. The key purpose of a meter is to add melody, as well as, rhythm in every line of the poem that promotes its readability and memorization among the readers through the rhyme and rhythimc structure employed in a poem through meter.Therefore, the meter is static in nature because it aims to add emphasis to certain set of syllables in each line to fulfill the poetic demands and make it more effective and melodius and rhythmic.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

B. The meter is free, making the poem unpredictable.

D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.

The correct answer is letter D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.

Explanation:

As every eye awaits her hand

To cue the members of the band.

The lines above are an example of iambic tetrameter. An iamb is a sequence consisting of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Since we have that pattern repeat 4 times in each line, they are called iambic tetrameters (tetra means 4). Since both lines have the same meter, we can say the meter is fixed. Also, since they are iambic, they end in a stressed syllable, which draws attention to the end rhyme. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The meter is fixed, drawing attention to the end rhyme.
