  • A. interlocutor
  • B. opportunity

  • D. actualizationCorrect

Explanation

'Interlocutor,' 'opportunity' and 'ambiguity' are all stressed on their third syllable (in-ter-LOC-u-tor, op-por-TU-ni-ty, am-bi-GU-i-ty). 'Actualization' shifts its main stress much later in the word (ac-tu-al-i-ZA-tion), giving it a different pattern.
