• B. 2500 ml - 3000 ml
• C. 6000 ml - 8000 ml
• D. 400 ml - 500 ml

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

6000 ml - 8000 ml

The volume of air inspired or exhaled by a healthy man per minute is known as tidal volume which is 500 mL. The breathing rate for a normal person is 12-15 breaths per minutes. So, a normal person inhale or exhale around 6000 to 8000 mL air per minute. Correct answer is C.
