What N1 percentage indicates the normal bleed air limit?

Bleed air is taken from the engine compressor to feed the environmental control system and other systems, and there are limits to how much bleed air can be used safely. The normal bleed air limit is defined by a specific N1 speed so that the compressor can supply bleed without overheating or overstressing the system. In this context, that limit is indicated when N1 rises above 56%. So if N1 reads greater than 56%, you’re at the upper boundary for normal bleed operation, and you would avoid increasing bleed demand or switch to alternate/other sources as needed. The other numbers aren’t the standard threshold for the normal bleed limit in this scenario, which is why this option is the best choice.
