Solution

The correct option is A
Diaphragm got punctured

Diaphragm is a muscular partition between the thorax and abdomen. It contribute significantly in alteration of the volume of the thoracic cage which inturn contributes to creation of pressure gradients within lungs, thereby bringing about breathing. When diaphragm gets punctured, the regulation of intra thoracic pressure becomes faulty leading to respiratory failure and can lead to death.
