Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a young, healthy person, weighing 70kg, resting cardiac output is approximately 5 liters per minute (assuming a heart rate of 70 bpm)

70ml stroke volume x 70 beats per minute = 5 liters/min

Stroke volume is the amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle with each contraction (normal value 70ml)
