Solution

The correct option is B One heart beat generate one pulse
This sequential event in the heart which is cyclically repeated is called the cardiac cycle. Each cardiac cycle consists of systole and diastole of both the atria and ventricles. Each cardiac cycle represents one heartbeat. The normal heart rate is about 72 beats per minute. The heart rate is same as pulse rate because the pumping action of the heart causes an increase in blood pressure in arteries that leads to noticeable pulse. Hence the relationship between the heartbeat and the pulse rate is one heartbeat generates one pulse.
So, the correct answer is 'One heartbeat generate one pulse'.
