Solution

The correct option is A Left side of chest
Apex beat is felt over the apex of the heart in the point of maximal impulse. It is an ectopic beat originating in an atrium. It strikes the chest wall in systole; normally in the fifth intercostal space, about 10 cm to the left of the median line.
So the correct answer is 'Left side of chest'.
