How Would You Differentiate a Junctional Escape Rhythm at 40

How would you differentiate a junctional escape rhythm at 40 beats/min from a ventricular escape rhythm at the same rate?

A) It is impossible to differentiate a junctional escape rhythm from a ventricular escape rhythm.
B) The junctional escape rhythm will have a narrow-QRS complex; the ventricular escape rhythm will have a wide QRS complex.
C) The rate (40 beats/min) would indicate a junctional escape rhythm, not a ventricular escape rhythm.
D) The junctional escape rhythm will have a wide QRS complex; the ventricular escape rhythm will have a narrow-QRS complex.
