Solution
The correct option is C 5mL of O2/100mL of blood
Out tissues usually take up approximately 25% of the oxygen in the tissue and the rest 75% remains unused in the human blood. So, if 20mL of O2/100mL of blood is present in the blood going from the lungs to the tissues, only 5mL of O2/100mL of blood will be taken up by the tissues.
So, the correct answer is '5mL of O2/100mL of blood'.
