Which of the following statements best describes an atrioventricular pacemaker?
A) It stimulates the atria when the conduction system from the AV node through the ventricles is intact and functioning.

C) It stimulates both ventricles to contract, in contrast to ventricular pacing, in which only the lower portion of the right ventricle is stimulated.
D) It delivers direct stimulation to the ventricles to produce both atrial and ventricular contraction.
