Solution

The correct option is A Vital capacity
The vital capacity is the total volume of air that can be expired after a maximum inhalation or maximum air that a person can breathe in after forced expiration. It is an important measure of a person’s respiratory health. A decreased vital capacity is an indication of restrictive lung disease where the lungs cannot expand completely.
