C
All of the above
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The three main components are P wave, QRS complex and T wave. The P represents depolarization of the atria, QRS complex denotes the depolarization of the ventricles and finally, the T wave represents repolarization of the ventricles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The P wave in an ECG complex indicates atrial depolarization. The QRS is responsible for ventricular depolarization and the T wave is ventricular repolarization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each ECG cycles consists of 5 waves: P, Q, R, S, T corresponding to different phases of the heart activities.
