Solution

The correct option is D both a and c
The normal blood pressure of a human being is 120/80 mmHg. In this measurement 120 mmHg (millimetres of mercury pressure) is the systolic, or pumping pressure and 80 mmHg is the diastolic, or resting pressure. If the blood pressure of an individual is more than 120/80 or higher, it means the person has a condition called hypertension or high blood pressure. Prolonged high blood pressure leads to heart diseases.
