A low respiratory rate (under 15 bpm) can indicate a problem with the dog's airway or lungs. A high respiratory rate (over 30 bpm) can indicate pain, stress or a health issue. Therefore, B is the most appropriate answer as it falls within the normal range for a dog's respiratory rate, which is typically between 15-30 breaths per minute. A and D are too low and too high, respectively, and C is closer to the higher end of the normal range, making it a less ideal answer.
