b.Sixth intercostal space, left midclavicular line

Explicación
V6 is placed at the left midaxillary line on the same horizontal plane as V4 and V5, completing the left lateral view of the heart. The posterior axillary line is used only for additional posterior leads such as V7. The right midaxillary line and the sixth space at the midclavicular line are not standard chest lead positions.
