D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A heart arrhythmia (uh-RITH-me-uh) is an irregular heartbeat. Heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical signals that coordinate the heart’s beats don’t work properly. The faulty signaling causes the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia) or irregularly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dysrhythmia. Both arrhythmia and dysrhythmia refer to an abnormal rhythm of your heartbeat. If you experience an arrhythmia, the rhythm of your heartbeat is too fast or too slow. If you experience dysrhythmia, the rate of your heartbeat is irregular, but it’s still within a normal range.

Detailed explanation-3: -An arrhythmia is a disturbance in the rhythm of the heartbeat, whether it’s beating too hard, too fast-or skipping beats. This condition can be caused by problems with the heart’s electrical system.
