Correct Option: D
The stress pattern is different in "intimate."
- Integral: in-TE-gral (stress on the second syllable)
- Intimate: IN-ti-mate (stress on the first syllable)
- Discourse: DIS-course (stress on the first syllable)
- Accelerate: ac-CEL-er-ate (stress on the second syllable)
"Intimate" is the only word where the primary stress falls on the first syllable, while the others have the stress on the second syllable.
