Ambient air, which you normally breathe, contains what percent of oxygen?

A 6%
B 10%
C 15%
D 21%
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) 21%. Ambient air, which is the air we normally breathe, contains approximately 21% oxygen.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the typical oxygen content in ambient air.
