Correct:
A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 (72-80).
In a normal resting adult human, the heart rate typically ranges between 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). However, the standard physiological average cited in medical and biological contexts is approximately 72 beats per minute.
- Option 1: This range (72-80) is the most accurate representation of the typical healthy adult heart rate under normal, non-strenuous conditions. It encompasses the standard average of 72 while accounting for slight physiological variations.
- Option 2: While 70-75 is close, it is narrower and often considered a subset of the broader healthy range provided in Option 1.
- Options 3 and 4: These ranges (80-97 and 82-87) represent the higher end of the resting spectrum, bordering on tachycardia, and are not considered the standard "normal" baseline for a healthy adult at rest.
Therefore, 72-80 bpm is globally recognized as the most appropriate clinical range for a normal resting pulse.
