The correct answer is one of those above mine.

Let me add a fun fact: When viewed from the tip via ultrasound, one of the views seems like the heart symbol. [4 chamber view](https://www.renalfellow.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ezgif.com-optimize.gif)

Consider that you are seeing it upside down as we place the transducer below the heart watching upwards.
