Solution
The correct option is B Q ECG is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart during a cardiac cycle. Each peak in the ECG is identified with a letter from P to T that corresponds to a specific electrical activity of the heart.
The QRS complex represents the depolarization of the ventricles, which initiates the ventricular contraction. The contraction starts shortly after Q and marks the beginning of the systole.
First negative deflection is shown by Q wave followed by positive deflection R wave and again S wave turns negative.
