The answer is the second one (or B): Bradycardia.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Tachycardia: This refers to an abnormally high heart rate, not a decrease in heart rate.
  2. Bradycardia: This refers to an abnormally low heart rate, which is a decrease in heart rate.
  3. Sinus: This term alone does not specify heart rate changes; it usually refers to the sinus rhythm, which is the normal heartbeat rhythm.
  4. Arrhythmia: This refers to an irregular heart rhythm, which can include both increases and decreases in heart rate, but it is not specific to a decrease in heart rate.

Summary: The correct term for a decrease in heart rate is Bradycardia.
