The correct option is A

120/80 mm Hg

The blood pressure is the pressure of the blood within the arteries. It is produced primarily by the contraction of the heart muscle. The normal human blood pressure is 120/80 mm of Hg.

Blood pressure is measured using two numbers. The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart rests between beats.
