The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct sequence for the conduction of an action potential through the heart is:

- E. SA node initiates the action potential.

- C. AV node delays the impulse to allow ventricles time to fill.

- A. AV bundle transmits the impulse down the septum.

- D. Bundle branches carry the impulse to the Purkinje fibers.

- B. Purkinje fibers distribute the impulse to the ventricles, causing contraction. 

Thus, the correct answer is (4).
