D: Korotkoff sounds are made as blood flows turbulently through a compressed artery. They cease when the artery is completely squashed and no blood flows (this is taken to be the systolic pressure) and also when the artery is not compressed at all. In this case the air pressure in the cuff is equal to or less than the diastolic pressure.
