Explanation:

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a fast heart rhythm that starts in the ventricles. In some cases of VT (especially pulseless VT which is a life - threatening arrhythmia), the patient may not have a pulse. But there is also a form of VT called "stable" VT where the patient may have a pulse (although the heart is still beating abnormally fast). Sinus rhythm is a normal heart rhythm with a pulse. Asystole is a flat - line on the ECG with no electrical activity and no pulse. Atrial flutter usually has a pulse (although the heart rhythm is abnormal with a fast atrial rate).

Answer:

C. Ventricular Tachycardia
