  • B. 260-360 mgs/100 ml
  • C. 80-250 mgs/100 ml
  • D. 150-250 mgs/100 ml

Explanation

A traditional reference range for total serum cholesterol is approximately 150–250 mg/dL, making that the closest listed range. Modern cardiovascular guidelines generally regard values below 200 mg/dL as desirable rather than defining one fixed normal interval.
