• A. Diastolic
• B. Systolic
• C. Mercuric
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Diastolic

The diastole phase is the phase of relaxation where the chambers of the heart relax and blood fills into the respective chambers. The atria relax during by the atrial diastole while the ventricles relax by the ventricular diastole. The diastolic pressure is the lateral pressure exerted by blood on the arterial wall during diastole (resting state) of the heart.

So, the correct answer is option A.
