Pulse is a pressure wave that travels through the arteries after each ventricular systole. The pulse can be felt in any artery that lies near the surface of the body. Carotid artery (neck region), radial artery (forearm) and femoral artery (legs) all of them are situated near the surface of the body. Thus pulse can be palpated from all of them.
So, the correct answer is option D.
