Correct Answer

Explanation

The correct answer is option A, 250- 300 gm. The size of the human heart is roughly the same as a clenched fist. An adult human heart usually weighs between 250 to 350 gm, making up approximately 0.45% of the total weight of the body. However, the weight of the heart can vary slightly based on an individual's physical size and sex.
Option B, 250- 350 gm, is close to the actual weight of the human heart, but the range is slightly larger than the typical weight range. Option C, 350- 450 gm, and option D, 300- 400 gm, are outside the typical weight range of the human heart.
