• A. $120/80$
• B. $80/120$
• C. $80/100$
• D. $100/80$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $120/80$

• Systolic blood pressure (the first number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats (systole).
  
• Diastolic blood pressure (the second number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats.
  
• Blood pressure during systole will definitely be higher than during diastole.
• A normal blood pressure level in men is approximately 120/80 mmHg.

So, the correct answer is (A)
