Option D. Korotkoff sounds are made as blood flows turbulently via a compressed artery. They quit when the artery is absolutely squashed and no blood flows (that is taken to be the systolic strain) and additionally while the artery isn't compressed at all. In this situation the air pressure withinside the cuff is same to or much less than the diastolic pressure.
