A Correct answer
Explanation

The true subject is 'Your blood pressure' (singular). The phrase 'as well as your temperature and heartbeat' is additive but doesn't make the subject plural. Therefore, the verb must agree with the singular 'blood pressure', taking 'is' not 'are'. 'Was/were' are wrong because the context suggests current state ('today').
