    B) Priya has a higher stroke volume.

    Explanation:

    Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat of the heart.

    Stroke volume is also known to have a relationship with the general heart function such that it decreases in the presence of diseases such as hemorrhages, hypothyroid etc.

    The stroke volume increases during exercises or movement of parts of the body. Priya is resting in a chair, but she is wiggling, kicking, tapping, and vibrating her legs which significantly is the reason why she has a higher stroke volume.
