Solution

The correct option is A Left side
In humans, the heart is present in the chest region.
It is located between the lungs and above the diaphragm.
The heart is slightly tilted towards the left side and thus, a stronger heartbeat can be felt on the left side.
Hence the doctor will keep the stethoscope for hearing Raman's heartbeat on the left side of his chest.
Thus the correct answer is option C.
