The correct answer is: Vital capacity
Vital Capacity (VC = ERV + TV + IRV) - It is the maximum volume of air that a person can inspire after forced expiration.

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC = ERV + RV) - It refers to the volume of air that remains in the lungs after a normal expiration.

Expiratory Capacity (EC = TV + ERV) - It is the total volume of air that a person can expire after a normal inspiration.

Total Lung Capacity (TLC = ERV+TV+IRV+RV = VC+RV) - It refers to the total volume of air that can be accommodated in the lungs at the end of forced inspiration.
