Solution

The correct option is C vital capacity
Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), tidal volume (TV), and expiratory reserve volume (ERV). So, the correct option is 'Vital capacity'.
