    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Tidal volume is the volume of air inspired or expired with each normal breath. This is about 500 mL (.5 L) in adult person. Inspiratory reserve volume is the extra amount of air that can be inspired forcibly after normal inspiration. It is about 2.5 L to 3 L of air. Residual volume is volume of air which remains still in the lung after most forceful expiration. It is about 1.5 L. Total lung capacity is the total amount of air present in the lungs and the respiratory passage after a maximum inspiration. It is about 5L to 6 L.
