Solution

The correct option is A Heart beat
The walls of the chambers of the heart are made up of muscles. These muscles contract and relax rhythmically. This rhythmic contraction followed by its relaxation constitute a heartbeat. A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute.
