People who live about 10,000 feet of altitude

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People who live at high altitudes can adjust to the lower oxygen levels over a period of weeks to months through physiological changes such as increased production of red blood cells and changes in breathing patterns. So, option A is correct. Option B is not correct as people at high altitudes actually have larger lung capacities to compensate for the lower oxygen levels. Option C is partly correct as they do take in less oxygen per breath due to lower air pressure, but diffusion is not a type of oxygen. Option D is not correct as not all people living at high altitudes suffer from fatigue and malaise their entire lives.
