• B. 20 kg
• C. 30 kg
• D. 50 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C 30 kg

• In a normal human adult male, the total weight of muscle is 30 kg.
• Muscle mass is important in determining healthy body composition. A person with a higher % of muscle mass finds it easier to move but needs more energy to do it.
• The normal muscle mass percentage on the bodyweight lies between 38% and 54% for men and between 28% and 39% for women depending on age and physical activity level.
  Hence, option C is the answer.
