Referred pain is a phenomenon where pain that originates from one part of the body is felt in another part of the body. In the case of a heart attack, the pain may originate in the chest but be felt down the left arm, which is a classic symptom of a heart attack. Therefore, option A, referred pain, is the best choice.
