IN A RESTING ADULT HUMAN BEING, HEARTBEAT VARIES FROM ____ BEATS PER MINUTE.
A
50-55
B
60-65
C
70-75
D
80-85
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness.

Detailed explanation-2: -For most healthy adult women and men, resting heart rates range from 60 to 100 beats per minute.

Detailed explanation-3: -The normal range is between 50 and 100 beats per minute. If your resting heart rate is above 100, it’s called tachycardia; below 60, and it’s called bradycardia. Increasingly, experts pin an ideal resting heart rate at between 50 to 70 beats per minute.

Detailed explanation-4: -Normally the heart beats 60 to 100 times per minute. The rate may drop below 60 beats per minute in people who exercise routinely or take medicines that slow the heart. If your heart rate is fast (over 100 beats per minute), this is called tachycardia. A heart rate slower than 60 is called bradycardia.

Detailed explanation-5: -For adults (ages 18+), the expected resting heart rate range is 60-100 bpm.
