Solution

The correct option is B
Systole of left ventricle

Systole refers to the contraction of the heart muscles. Therefore the systole generates higher pressure compared to the diastole. Moreover, the left ventricle has to pump blood to much further off parts of the body than the right ventricle. Therefore, the systole of the left ventricle generates the maximum amount of pressure
