  2. B.First sound (lubb) due to closure of AV valves; second sound (dub) due to closure of semilunar valvesCorrect answer
  3. C.First sound (lubb) due to opening of AV valves; second sound (dub) due to opening of semilunar valves
  4. D.First sound (lubb) due to atrial contraction; second sound (dub) due to ventricular contraction
