• A. Vital capacity
• B. Lung capacity
• C. Tidal volume
• D. Residual volume

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Vital capacity

Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be expelled out after maximum inspiration possible. Lung capacity is total of the vital capacity and the functional residual capacity. Tidal volume is the amount of air that enters the lungs during normal inhalation at rest with no extra efforts. Residual volume is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after full exhalation.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
