Question

what is the normal range for breathing rates at rest?

a) 5–10 breaths per minute

b) 12–25 breaths per minute

c) 30–40 breaths per minute

d) 50–60 breaths per minute

Explanation:

The normal resting respiratory (breathing) rate for adults is typically around 12 - 20 breaths per minute, and for a broader normal range (including slight variations in different individuals or contexts), 12 - 25 breaths per minute is a recognized normal range. Option A is too low, options C and D are too high (more like rates in certain pathological or non - resting states like in infants or during distress, but not normal resting for adults).

Answer:

B) 12–25 breaths per minute
