Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

To measure the volume of air involved in breathing, a spirometer is used. It is an apparatus that measures the amount of air inspired or expired by an individual. This tool is helpful in the clinical assessment of pulmonary functions. It can measure different lung capacities and volumes, such as tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. The spirometer is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
