C) inspiratory capacity (IC) .
D) expiratory reserve volume (ERV) .
E) functional residual capacity (FRC) .
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
The additional air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal inhalation.
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
The additional amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after the completion of a normal, quiet exhalation.
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
The maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) is the amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled after a normal tidal volume inspiration. The difference in amplitude between the peak of a normal inspiration and the peak of the maximal inspiration represents the amount of air that can be inhaled in addition to the normal tidal volume, which is the IRV. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
