Solution

The correct option is A

The respiratory rate of a newborn is slow.


Breathing tends to be faster in younger children and then slow down as we age. A normal newborn breathes between 30 to 60 times per minute. Although this is much faster than the normal adult breathing rate of 10 to 20 times per minute, it is normal for newborn babies.
