Answer: C. The person is having a heart attack.

This picture is an electrocardiograph (ECG).  The ECG is a graph which shows cardiac activity. It is a reading of the electrical impulses in the heart that activates heart muscles and pumping action of blood. An ECG is obtained by fixing 12 electrodes on different body locations like chest, arms, legs which detects the electrical impulses of the heart muscle. The output generated on an ECG consists of peaks. The elevation of peaks in ECG indicates abnormal heart activity or heart attack.

This picture is showing continuous elevated peaks therefore, indicates that the person is having a heart attack.
