The Pt has dilat. cardiomyopathy, and will have accentuated (C)

I think its cardiac tamponade... bp is so low... with raised jvp, an lungs are clear... its got to be cardiac tamponade
so obviously there must be pulsus paradox - accentuation of the fall in systolic pr on inspiration... B

I think the ans is C
The pt has distant heart sounds indicating a pericardial effusion especially with the hist of lung cacer(Remember conrad fissure when he said that any tumor in near by structures may cause it). Add to this elevated JVP----> will lead to elevated end diastolic pressure in left ventricle..
Plz correct me if i'm wrong
