(d) 10d

This question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

The query is from Measuring Blood Pressure & Pulse Oximetry topic in chapter Diagnostic Investigation in Neurology and Cardiology of Clinical Science

Answer 1

Right option is (a) 2

To explain I would say: Blood pressure can be measured in non invasive and invasive methods. Non invasive is when the method of measuring is completely outside the body, i.e. with the help of light or pressure detectors. Invasive is when some tube or measuring device is inserted into the body.
