Solution
The correct option is C Repolarisation of ventricles Electrocardiography (ECG) is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin. The T wave represents repolarisation of the ventricles.The interval from the beginning of the QRS complex to the apex of the T
wave is referred to as the absolute refractory period. The last half of the T
wave is referred to as the relative refractory period. Hence option C is correct.
