a) systolic
"The systolic arterial pressure is defined as the peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle;"

A--systolic, the higher number in your reading--healthy is in the 120 range. When the muscle releases pressure, it is called Diastolic, the lower number in your reading., healthy is in the 80 range..the other two answers are made up to confuse you.
