D, i.e. 2 L
End expiratory volume is FRC, at the point at which the expanding force of the chest wall and the collapsing force of the lung are equal and opposite.

PS. do i own or do i own more?

tell me how did u interpret through this graph????kinda tricky for me....

ok guys i got this one....
at the end of normal expiration the lung is at FRC and the intrapleural pressure is at -5 cm H2O...so iu we coincide the the volume which is present on the y axis to the pressure measurement which is present at the x axis then answer turns out to be 2.5 lt.
so the answer is E....i.e. 2.5 lt.

dude in no way can you see what the intrapleural pressure is on that curve. according to your reasoning, a lung volume above 3.5 would give rise to a Positive pressure, which never occurs unless you v got a pneumothorax. I.e. your reasoning is shot down.

What the curve shows is COMPLIANCE. i.e. delta V/ delta P. To get a FRC, opposing forces are EQUAL and OPPOSITE. How does it look like on the curve? The horizontal distance from the vertical axis to the 2 respective curves should be equal. Which point is it? D!
