What is the normal resting heart rate range for an adult?

• A. 60-100 bpm
• B. 50-70 bpm
• C. 70-110 bpm
• D. 55-95 bpm

Answer: (A)

Resting heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute when a person is at rest. For a healthy adult, the normal resting heart rate is about 60 to 100 beats per minute. This range is the standard reference clinicians use to categorize normal heart rhythm at rest. Values below 60 can occur in very fit individuals or certain medical conditions, while values above 100 may reflect temporary factors like fever, stress, or illness. The answer matches this widely cited range, whereas the other options either miss part of the normal span or extend beyond it.
