• A. 120 and 80 mm Hg
• B. 150 and 100 mm Hg
• C. 50 and 100mm Hg
• D. 100 and 80 mm Hg

Answer 1

The correct option is A 120 and 80 mm Hg

Normal resting blood pressure or arterial blood pressure for an adult human being is about 120/80 mm Hg. Blood pressure is summarized by two measurements, systolic and diastolic, which depend on whether the heart muscles are contracting (systole) or are relaxed between the beats (diastole).

So, the correct answer is option A.
