C. A slow heart rate increases end diastolic volume, stroke volume, and force of contraction.

Explanation:

Cardiac output: The volume of blood the heart pumps via the circulatory system per minute is known as cardiac output.

Stroke volume : The volume of blood ejected by the left ventricle in one contraction is called or known as stroke volume and it with heart rate defines the cardiac output.

Cardiac output, is : A slow heart rate increases end diastolic volume, stroke volume, and force of contraction.
