The correct answer is

stethoscope

A stethoscope is an acoustic medical device that amplifies internal body sounds — particularly heart sounds and breath sounds — and conducts them to the examiner's ears. Doctors place its chest piece on the patient's chest to hear the 'lub-dub' sounds of the heartbeats.

Radiography uses X-rays to image internal structures; a reflex hammer is used to test neurological reflexes; a microscope magnifies small objects for visual examination. None of these detect heartbeats by sound.

The correct answer is A: stethoscope.
