- A. interlocutor
- B. opportunity

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.
