Solution

The correct option is A 100 days
The lifespan of adult RBCs are 120 days but in contrast to the same, the life span of RBCs (Red Blood cells) in newborns are approximately 60 -100 days and the life span of RBC of premature newborns have shorter life span i.e., 35-50 days. Hence option A is the correct answer.
