    Atrioventricular valves close
  • Semilunar valves close
  • D
    Atrioventricular valves open

Answer

Correct option: C.

(c) Semilunar valves close
Explanation:
The 'Dub' sound, also known as the second heart sound (S2), is produced by the closing of the semilunar valves-the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve-at the end of the systole when the ventricles relax. This sound is associated with the end of the ventricular contraction and marks the beginning of ventricular filling.
