The correct answer is 120/80 mmHg. This is considered the normal range for blood pressure in adults. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed as two numbers: the top number (systolic pressure) measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the bottom number (diastolic pressure) measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats.
