Solution
The correct option is D Diastolic
Systolic pressure is peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the end of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are contracting. Diastolic pressure is minimum pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are filled with blood. The diastolic blood pressure number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A normal systolic blood pressure is 120 or below. A normal diastolic blood pressure number is 80 or below.So, the correct answer is option B.
