What is the maximum panting rate mentioned?

• A. 50
• B. 100
• C. 200
• D. 300

Answer: (C)

Panting rate is a practical indicator trainers use to gauge a dog’s thermal and arousal state during activity. The material you’re studying sets 200 panting breaths per minute as the maximum mentioned. This value represents the upper limit at which panting is still a concern for overheating but is the cited cap in the source. Beyond this rate, cooling needs become urgent and you’d typically reduce work or seek rest.

So, the number 200 is correct because it reflects the upper threshold given in the material. Lower values like 50 or 100 would indicate milder exertion, while a rate as high as 300 would go beyond what the source describes as the maximum.
