o it increases with age in all people.
o it increases with age in healthy people only.

Explanation:

As people age, in healthy individuals, the resting cardiac output generally remains stable. There are compensatory mechanisms in healthy - aging hearts that help maintain this stability. In non - healthy individuals, various age - related pathologies can affect cardiac output, but the question is focused on the general relationship in healthy people.

Answer:

It remains stable with age in healthy people.
