Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Chronic hypoxemia – This is more typical in cyanotic congenital heart defects but is not a hallmark of PDA.

B. Cyanosis with crying – PDA is an acyanotic defect, meaning it does not typically cause cyanosis.

C. Weak pulses – PDA results in bounding pulses, not weak pulses, due to increased systolic pressure.

D. Systolic murmur – A large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) allows blood to flow abnormally from the aorta to the pulmonary artery, creating a continuous "machine-like" systolic murmur due to turbulent blood flow.
