I practiced a similar question where 4-6 sets were emphasized for hypertrophy, so I’m leaning towards option A, but I’m not entirely sure about the percentage.

I think option B sounds familiar because it mentions 10-15 reps, which is often recommended for building size, but I’m not confident about the set range.

I remember that for hypertrophy, the common range is usually 6-12 reps, but I'm not sure if 85% 1 RM is too heavy for that.
