Solution

The correct option is A Enables us to hear the heartbeat
The function of the stethoscope is to amplify the sound of the heart. It consists of a chest piece, two earpieces and tube joining these two pieces. The chest piece carries a sensitive diaphram that when placed on the chest amplifies the heart beat.
