Answer
B. Somatic tremors produce irregular spikes.
Explanation
## Step 1:Understand the question. The question is asking us to identify the characteristic that differentiates somatic tremors from 60-cycle interference. ## Step 2:Analyze the options. Somatic tremors and 60-cycle interference are two disturbances that can cause errors in bioelectrical recording systems like electrocardiograms. ## Step 3:Somatic tremors, typically due to muscle twitching or shivering, manifest in the recording as wide-frequency irregular base line or noise. ## Step 4:60-cycle interference, can manifest as regular repeating spikes if unchecked, typically resulting from electrical interference (Often from AC Power sources operating at 60 Hertz in North America).## Step 5:The options speak to characteristics of either disturbance. The question is asking which characteristic differentiates (singular) one from the other.
