Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of
1. Residual Volume (RV)
2. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
3. Tidal Volume (TV)
4. Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)

The given graph shows the pulmonary volumes of a healthy man recorded on spirometer.

Which of the following would be correct?
1. D can be exhaled only after maximum expiratory efforts
2. The value of B will be different for inhalation and exhalation
3. The amount of air remaining in lungs after a normal exhalation is C + D
4. Total lung capacity cannot be calculated from this graph as it includes residual volume
