Question

a. after a meal
b. after exercise
c. first thing in the morning
d. before going to bed

Explanation:

The resting heart rate is best measured when the body is fully at rest and has not been influenced by recent physical activity, eating, or other factors that can elevate heart - rate. In the morning, after a night of sleep, the body is in a relaxed state, making it an ideal time for measurement. After a meal, digestion can increase heart - rate. After exercise, the heart is still beating faster than normal. Before going to bed, there may be factors like stress or activity during the day that could affect the rate.

Answer:

C. First thing in the morning
