Resposta

The correct answer is B. Normal sinus rhythm.Explanation: In a normal sinus rhythm, the P waves and QRS complexes are regular, and the PR interval is within the normal range (0.12-0.20 seconds). The QRS duration is also within the normal range (0.06-0.10 seconds). The heart rate of 65 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults (60-100 beats per minute). Therefore, the interpretation of the cardiac rhythm in this case would be normal sinus rhythm.
