Solution

The correct option is A SA node
  • The sino-atrial (SA) node is a group of specialised nerve cells that is responsible for generating electrical impulses for the heart to beat.
  • The electrical impulse generated by the SA node allows the heart to contract.
  • It is the natural pacemaker of the heart.
So, the correct answer is 'SA node'.
