A single red blood cell takes approximately **20 to 60 seconds** to travel through the body and return to the lungs. So, none of the options (A, B, C, D, or E) are entirely accurate, but the closest option would be **C) 1 minute**. Keep in mind that the actual time may vary depending on factors like the individual's activity level and overall health.
