Basal metabolism refers to the amount of energy the body uses at rest to carry out essential functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and regulating body temperature. Typically, basal metabolism accounts for approximately 60-75% of the body's total energy use. Given that Jared is an average, healthy 23-year-old, it is reasonable to assume that his basal metabolism accounts for around 70% of his body's total energy use. Therefore, the best choice is B) 70%.
