Solution
The correct option is A Bradycardia Bradycardia is an abnormality of the heart where an individual has the slow heart rate. The normal heart rate for an adult human being at rest is 72 beats per minute. In bradycardia, the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute in adults. Shortage of oxygenated blood due to infection of lungs is the major cause of bradycardia. The heart is unable to get the sufficient amount of oxygenated blood from the lungs. It turns fatal and may cause cardiac arrest.
