D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option as 'consistent' indicates something that is adhering to the same principles, course or form. In this context, the term 'erratic' indicates behaviour that is deviating from the usual or proper course of conduct. As the pattern of the heartbeat is consistent and here it was erratic. Thus, this is the correct antonym in the given context.
