Explanation

The elemental composition of a typical 70 kg human body varies by mass. The elements listed are found in the following approximate quantities:

  • Copper (3): Approximately 0.07 to 0.1 grams. It is a trace element essential for various enzymes.
  • Iron (4): Approximately 4 grams. It is primarily found in hemoglobin and is the most abundant trace metal.
  • Sodium (1): Approximately 100 grams. It is the primary cation of the extracellular fluid.
  • Potassium (2): Approximately 140 grams. It is the primary intracellular cation and is more abundant than sodium in total body mass.

Arranging these elements in increasing order of their mass gives: Copper (3) < Iron (4) < Sodium (1) < Potassium (2). Therefore, the correct sequence is 3, 4, 1, 2.
