Check all locations where a pulse can be taken.

Answer
A

Explanation

A pulse can be felt where an artery runs close enough to the skin to press against underlying tissue. The carotid, brachial, radial, femoral, and popliteal arteries are standard pulse points, and the dorsalis pedis artery on the top of the foot is another pulse point. Therefore, all six listed locations apply.
