What is apnea?

  1. The absence of breathing

  2. The pulse on the left side of the chest, just below the nipple

  3. Difficulty using or understanding words

  4. Threat to harm a person, resulting in the person feeling fearful that he or she will be harmed

The correct answer is: The absence of breathing

Apnea is the medical term for the temporary absence of breathing or cessation of breathing. It is typically characterized by periods of not breathing that can last from a few seconds to several minutes. Option B refers to the pulse, while options C and D describe different aspects of fear and harm, neither of which relate to apnea.
