Answer 1

The correct option is C

Lung function tests

Lung function tests, also called pulmonary function tests, measure how well your lungs work. These tests are used to look for the cause of breathing problems such as shortness of breath.

Lung function tests measure:

• ·How much air you can take into your lungs. This amount is compared with that of other people of your age, height, and sex. This allows your doctor to check whether you're in the normal range.
• How much air you can blow out of your lungs and how fast you can do it.
• How well your lungs deliver oxygen to your blood.
• The strength of your breathing muscles.
