Solution
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.
