Final answer:

A normal blood glucose level is typically between 70 mg/dL and 130 mg/dL when fasting, and can rise to about 140 mg/dL postprandially. The answer to the question is C. 100 mg/dL.

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal blood glucose level in humans is typically between 70 mg/dL to 130 mg/dL when fasting, and it may rise to approximately 140 mg/dL after eating. It is tightly regulated by hormones, including insulin which lowers blood sugar, and glucagon which raises it.

Considering the options provided, a normal blood glucose level would be C. 100 mg/dL. The other options either represent hypoglycemia (A), hyperglycemia (B), or units/magnitudes that do not make sense in the context of blood glucose measurement (D and E).
