Explanation

Normal blood pressure is typically defined as systolic less than 120 mmHg and diastolic less than 80 mmHg. However, guidelines vary - some sources use 140/90 as the threshold for hypertension. Option B (systolic <140, diastolic <90) aligns with older, less stringent standards and is the best available answer.
