Solution

The correct option is C 1200ml
  • Residual volume (RV) is the amount of air that remains in a persons lungs after maximum exhalation.
  • In other words, this is the volume of air that we cant possibly get out of our lungs, meaning that the lungs are never completely empty of air.
  • Otherwise, they would collapse as the tissue sticks together.
  • It is about 1100 ml to 1200 ml.
  • So, the correct answer is '12001200ml'
