A Correct answer
Explanation

The brain receives approximately 750-1000 ml of blood per minute, which is roughly equivalent to 3 standard 12-ounce soda cans. This high blood flow is necessary to deliver oxygen and glucose to meet the brain's high metabolic demands. The brain uses about 20% of the body's blood supply.
