Answer:

I'm going to say B. (Sorry if this is wrong please correct me if so.) Good luck

Step-by-step explanation:

To check your pulse at your wrist, place two fingers between the bone and the tendon over your radial artery — which is located on the thumb side of your wrist. When you feel your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply this number by four to calculate your beats per minute.

aren’t you supposed to put your fingers on your wrist or neck and not your thumb? although we do have a pulse in our thumb so i suppose that could work too lol
