Solution

The correct option is A Semilunar valves
Two distinct sounds can be heard during heart beat with the help of stethoscope. These are 'lubb' and 'dup'.
  • Lubb is the first sound which has a low pitch and produced by the closure of tricuspid and bicuspid valves (collectively called atrioventricular valves) at the beginning of ventricular systole.
  • Dup is the second sound which is sharp and has a high pitch. It is produced by closure of semilunar valves by the end of ventricular systole.
So, the correct answer is 'Semilunar valves'.
