Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Pectus excavatum is a congenital malformation of the chest wall that is characterized by a pronounced funnel-shaped concave depression over the lower end of the sternum. Children with this malformation have displacement of the heart and lung tissue.

In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the left ventricle is severely underdeveloped, leaving the right ventricle overloaded, which results in complete heart failure.
