Question
**Refer to the figure below.**

The graph displays the relationship between dive duration in minutes (x-axis) and peak blood concentration of lactic acid at the end of a dive, measured in mg/100 mL (y-axis). The data is represented by red dots and follows an upward curve, indicating an increase in lactic acid concentration with longer dive durations.

Key observations from the graph:
- At shorter dive durations (0-20 minutes), lactic acid concentration remains relatively low.
- As dive duration increases beyond 20 minutes, there is a noticeable increase in lactic acid concentration.
- The concentration rises steeply as the dive duration approaches 60-70 minutes.

**According to the figure, approximately how long would it take an adult Weddell seal to metabolize the lactic acid accumulated from a 1-hour dive?**

Select one:
- a. Close to 6 hours
- b. A little over 2 hours
- c. 20 minutes
- d. 60 minutes
