i think its B cauz i read somewhere that the patient can go for sex if he can climb 2 flights of stairs without symptoms ...
or if he can tolerate a tachycardia of 110-130 bps
but i am not sure ... anyone plz comment ... cauz i don`t find any opposing reason for choice C too ... but B seems to e more strong as an answer
